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)

Yes, please allow us to organize reports and panels and not only apps. This is important when the development is centralized at the IT department and the company has too many users.

Any update on this? If Apps was your solution then it's not really a solution.... The main problem is that if we want to have a report in two folders (or apps as it is now) we have to republish the data source and report in both place - taking up value memory and it also makes a mission to manage.

The navigation doesn't help too much. Users go to one workspace to view all reports. Also it's too complicate to train users as instructed in the link: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/announcing-the-new-power-bi-navigation-preview/

Please update us whether this is actually going to happen. Even just one level of folders would help

Has this been forgotten about? I've now got a long unorganised list of dashboards and it's getting harder to find anything.

Yes. This would be a great addition for enterprise deployment.

What is the status of this planned update? Moving reports from folder to folder and establishing hierarchies within folders would make them much easier to manage.

This is a basic feature that is needed for any organization over 10 people! Please push this to the top of your list.

Please add the ability to have subfolders inside workspaces.
Doesnt seem that hard to implement, we are having lots and lots of different reports,
its a mess at the moment.
