RIght now, on powerbi.com, there is no ability to organize reports, dashboards, etc into folders. If you have a lot of content or users, this gets messy quickly.

Please add the ability to organize into folders (and secure those folders separately)

this has been 'in your plan' for years now... when are you going to make it happen?!? this is consistently the Achille's heal for powerbi... you need to allow a workspace to be set up like File Manager with different security/access per subfolder

Using Power BI in a large organization is like a disaster with reports, data sources, apps scattered everywhere.

This feature has been requested for so long - many years. Really, why hasn't this been implemented? I can't think of a feature that would provide more bang for the buck in terms of user satisfaction.

We have mature deployments of Tableau and MicroStrategy and have recently started using Power BI. This is a feature that your competitors have and it's absence is making adoption of Power BI difficult.

Any idea when this task can be prioritized? This would is a base for any reporting tool and when you compare PowerBI with Tableau, this is a basic feature that is lacking.

RE: Add Folders To Organize Reports On PowerBI.com

This seems to be such a basic and low-hanging fruit feature! Can't believe we don't have it! We are (attempting to) roll out Power BI in an enterprise fashion but can't manage the reports. I don't think cross linking reports into applications or proliferating workspaces are acceptable replacements for basic management and organization of reports.
