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!

Seriously Microsoft, it has been more than 3 years since the request of adding a feature with the capability of organizing the contents in the the report into folders and sub folders. Do something to make easier for the folks who are using PBI.

Still no updates? It's been at least 3 YEARS since this feature was requested. A no brainer feature if you want to call Power BI a robust BI platform. Seriously, what's going on? Folders within the App sounds nice, but why not folders within Reports?

This would really be of great help for our PBI users to navigate and to structure order in the reports section. I hope this can be started within soon!

I've just attended to presentations at the PBI world Tour 2018 in Montreal. Great Event but...

.. nothing mentioned there about enhancing the Navigation experience within App Workspaces with capability to create/manage Folders/Sub-folders including appropriate security rules applied to them for the concerned members. What's the planning to obtain this highly awaited feature?
