# How do I colour, star or set reminders on files in Delta Drive?

Right-click any file or folder — on your Mac or in a browser. **Colour** offers Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple, Grey or No colour; a colour is shared, so everyone who can see the item sees it. **Mark** offers Favourite, Star, Heart, Like or Dislike, **Follow up…** (with an optional due date) and **Remind me…** (a date and time). Marks are personal — only you see them.

**Marked & due** in the sidebar lists everything you've coloured or marked, with filters by colour, by mark and **Due now**.

When a reminder's time comes or a follow-up passes its date, it shows as **Due** and your Mac shows one notification; clicking it opens the item. There's no email, and Storage Studio needs to be running on your Mac. Colours and marks follow moves and renames, and come back with an item you put back from the Trash.
