# Understanding Folder Icons and Colors

Folder icons differ based on folder owner and collaboration status. For more information on folder permissions, [check out this article here](https://docs.box.com/en/box-fundamentals/for-users/collaborating/collaborating-by-inviting-others/understanding-folder-permissions.md).

Frequently-used icons are identified in the following table:

<table>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td>** Icon **</td>
      <td>**Description **</td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
