    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)

    Echoing previous comments, this feature should be available in Apps as well

    I would also like to have folders in an App. If you have many reports published in an app thing get messy

    This is a very much needed feature.

    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!

    Workspaces with many reports can be overwhelming and hard to navigate. Being able to create folders within workspaces to organize reports and dashboards would be super helpful

    it is needed. Create a worspace is lot of management work, when you just need subfolders!

    This hierarchy of folders is needed as soon as possible.

    reading the comments above, it's amazing MS hasn't sorted this out... YOUR COMPETITORS HAVE. you are really alienating a lot of your loyal customers.

    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
