Subdirectory Left

The subdirectory-left icon represents a folder or directory navigation element, symbolizing a subdirectory or subfolder located to the left, and often associated with file systems and navigation menus.

The subdirectory-left icon is commonly used in file explorers, such as Windows Explorer or macOS Finder, to represent a subdirectory or subfolder. It's also used in web applications, such as file managers or content management systems, to navigate through a hierarchical structure.

From a UX perspective, the subdirectory-left icon communicates a sense of navigation and hierarchy, helping users understand that a particular feature or service is related to file or directory management.

Subdirectory Left is one of 297 icons in Zondicons, made by Steve Schoger and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 20 × 20 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds SubdirectoryLeftIcon to components/icons/zondicons-subdirectory-left.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed SubdirectoryLeftIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Subdirectory Left icon, or any of 297 Zondicons icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 20 × 20 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Subdirectory Left", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. SubdirectoryLeftIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <SubdirectoryLeftIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes. MIT allows commercial use; keep the license notice when you ship the icons' source files. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: MIT only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming Zondicons, Steve Schoger and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
