Want to quickaccess my favourite folders/files.

Have a favourite files widget on my dashboard.

ps: There is "Recommended files", but not favourites files if I see this correctly..

I don't know if a dashboard widget would be adapted for that. You most likely have many many favorite files and yet the widget would just display 6 of'em. Then I guess one would still need to go to Files app and use the Favorites filter in the left sidebar.

We could either have a separate favorites widget or add some checkbox to make recommended files only operate on favorites.

I’d say it wouldn’t be bad to have an extra "Favorite files" widget though. Could be sorted by last modified for quick access, and last entry "Show more favorite files …" would go directly to the favorite filter view in Files.

@ChristophWurst Is the favorite status factored in to the recommendation algorithm at the moment?

I would love to see my most recently accessed favorite files/folders on the dashboard. Too often I just click away from the dashboard because I need to go to one of 2 directories to get something. A widget like this would give me quick access.
