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)

Hi Microsoft, I learnt that you wanted to make PBI a unified platform for both self-service and Enterprise BI. This feature is one of those that are basic, but long overdue for making PBI an Enterprise BI tool.

Actually a useful idea, but instead we get rounded corners on charts. Come on Microsoft, put one of your interns on this..

Definitely need this. As it is Workspaces get messy very quickly and too many are created because you can't segregate content at all. Sub folders in a Workspace would fix that.

Why did Power BI take a step back comparing to all competitors and... Reporting Services?! Without folder structures and security based on the hierarchy of logical containers Power BI is constantly challenged by security fellows from IT teams in the enterprises. Not to mention that with folders we could clean the mess we currently have in our Power BI workspaces... C'mon, Microsoft, it's time to deliver this feature to Power BI.
