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)

RE: Add Folders To Organize Reports On PowerBI.com
The ability to # or tag reports with certain key words that indicates the report is centred around a particular process or persona would be helpful as well. For example in the Power BI Hub beside Endorsement, Sensitivity etc there should be a column that says Tags where report owners can use certain key words that will allow end users to filter and sort by.

Are there any updates to this idea? We are currently reviewing whether to move to PBI Online and this will cause us issues with the number of reports we are using.
RE: Add Folders To Organize Reports On PowerBI.com
agreed, this issue is so past due... this is a key reason for some reluctance on part of corp users to switch to pbi from other BI analytics platforms

It's a basic very important feature for large organizations that uses a large number of reports.
It's been Under Review since March 2021, We need to know if this feature will be out soon or not.

Indeed a necessary much needed functionality to the application (PBI) especially where it is expected that there will be numerous report in production and some gone live and some still work in progress, beta mode. Folders management is a minimal function to help users / designers/ creators deep at work.

Imagine a workspace with hundreds of reports and no way to organise them. It will get messy very quickly. I cannot believe this feature was not available from day one.

So many people are now asking for this. It would be so great if this could be actioned
RE: Add Folders To Organize Reports On PowerBI.com
I've read somewhere that a user can be a part of a maximum of a 1000 workspaces. Currently, if you view your available workspaces, it just gives you a list of workspaces where you can search for a specific one. But if you are part of a multitude of workspaces, this can get messy.
What I'm suggesting is to allow the capacity/power bi admins to categorize created workspaces into folders/subfolders so that when end users view their available workspaces, it is neatly organized.
Sample:
Org Root Folder
- Standard
- Systems Folder
- Workspaces
- Clients
- Workspaces
