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!

We have lots of Reports within our workspaces and would like to be able to organize them into different folders. Please provide an update!

I am looking forward to this feature. We really need to have a way to divide reports into groups. Some of our workspaces contain 20+ reports.

Same here, as we are currently implementing all our company reports into PowerBI and need to organize the reports into a handy structure for all of our employees.

We would also love to hear an update about this feature.
There customers which like to migrate from PowerBI Report Server to the cloud, but missing this is a showstopper

RE: Add Folders To Organize Reports On PowerBI.com

When will this be added? We really need to be able to add folders within apps and then assign access permissions at the folder level. Please provide an update!

We spread a lot of dashboards throughout the company and after a few months, it's very hard to have them organized without a proper folder structure. Please IMPLEMENT!
