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)

Thank you all for the feedback since our last update. We're working on building a new navigation experience to allow authors to customize a folder-like structure for all the contents within Power BI Apps. Stay tuned!

Users can create a mess with hierarchical directories too. I prefer a tagging system with search functionality built in to cortana and natural language processing

Summer is over. :) Is our current state (Using "Groups" to segregate content?) final state?

System I'm trying to move from has over 200 reports. That will look silly without folders.

Very much looking forward to this new feature. Getting very desperate now to clean up my long list of dashboards. Hopefully something like an expand and collapse button is coming

Combining Chart Types and Adding a Second Axis will be a good feature to add. For financial data analysis and sales vrs growth or sales ($) vrs Forecast (%) is really necessary... we need to compare $$$$ vrs %%% in a single graphic.

Thanks... your videos are really good, clears and specific :)
