    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!

    Is there an update on this? 2 years seems like a long time to work on a seemingly basic piece of functionality!

    Please also make this available in Power BI Embedded. Unable to move away from SAP Business Objects until we have this. Thanks.

    Please also allow the ability to organize the folders for dashboards. It is painfully to scroll through a long page of dashboards. Having quick access to folders is helpful. Please implement. Thank you.

    Folders would allow users or managers to organize and grant security rights to Reports in each folder similar to SAP BO Reports.

    RE: Add Folders To Organize Reports On PowerBI.com

    Any news on that one? This is one of the most often raised missing features of Power BI by the customers. They don't want to create a Power BI hell instead of Excel hell!

    The folder security piece of this will be crucial and sooo helpful!
