Does NavFolders give a dofollow backlink?
NavFolders links to your site with a nofollow link, which asks Google not to count it.
Its Ahrefs Domain Rating is 66. Part of that comes from sites that link back to it in exchange for a listing, so it likely overstates what its link is worth to you (why).
