To add a folder (dropdown menu) in Squarespace, go to the Pages panel, click the '+' icon in Main Navigation, select "Dropdown," name it, and then drag existing pages or add new ones (pages, links, collections) underneath it in the panel to create your menu. The folder title appears in your header, and hovering over it reveals the items you placed inside, making your site navigation cleaner and more organized.
