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!

This idea was posted over 4 years ago with no updates for a year. Is this ever going to happen?

When is this likely to happen?, Tableau has had sub folders with folder level security for some time.

Tumbleweeds... This had better be the best folder system we've ever seen on any platform...

Any Progress on this? This is such an important feature and how come this feature is delayed so much?

Hierarchies of folders for dashboards, reports, and datasets would provide great benefits (and more self-service) for users by giving them a familiar interface.

Please provide an update as this is will help our end users find the reports they are looking for without scrolling through a long list.

Hi Microsoft, I learnt that you wanted to make PBI a unified platform for both self-service and Enterprise BI. This feature is one of those that are basic, but long overdue for making PBI an Enterprise BI tool.

Actually a useful idea, but instead we get rounded corners on charts. Come on Microsoft, put one of your interns on this..
