In web-client-config-custom.xml, you don't use <content-types>, you use <folder-types>. This problem caught me too, but I found a forum posting that cleared it up. I haven't found any documentation on it either.

I'm … I'm not sure. I've been creating these customized folders using a script, so I always create them behind the scenes.

In theory, you should be able to add them to the Space Wizards and Action Wizards in the web-client-config-custom.xml. Does that work for you?

To create a folder of your Custom Type, navigate to Create >> Advance Space Wizard.

Under "Create Space Wizard" you will find 3 options:
1. From scratch
2. Based on an existing space
3. Using a template

Select "From scratch" and you may find your custom folder type defined here for selection along with Folder Space and Forum Space.
