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)

Would be nice to sort all your reports and dashboards in "My Workspace" instead of it being a big mess.
A folder structure to categorize reports etc would be nice.

Folders in workspaces foster hierarchical organization within workspaces. Currently, you can create workspaces but each report is on the same level within those workspaces. You as administrator can't organize them and users that have access to those workspaces have to scroll through multiple reports.

Seems like a very Microsoft feature that folks would use and like!

In Workspace Contents, it would be great to organize reports into folders.

Folders would be a great addition for us.

We are using workspaces to secure and provide content to different user groups, but are missing the ability to organise the content for these users into logical areas, having folders would provide this.

For us moving from another tool into the Power BI product, it was a surprise to not have this as an option.

if you are talking about app.powerbi.com then Workspaces are like folders. Why cant we organize accordingly.
Correct me if I am wrong.

This is one of the top requests on the site. We as a community provided feedback to PBI team and there is no response for the last 2 years. Why?
