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)

Not just within app. We also want in Service. No Update since Mar 2018???

An update on this would be appreciated - we will be restructuring our workspaces/apps in PBI Service enterprisewide later this year to clean up clutter and better align PBI to our org structure/needs. Our approach would be very different if we could create folders inside workspaces, rather than many flat workspaces. Workspaces that are collaborative can quickly get messy without folders or even user names of who last edited the report and when. Security on folders is also an interesting idea that others have raised.

This is becoming a kind of show stopper for us for moving users from Power BI Report Server to Power BI Service

Come on Guys! This is a very basic functionality in any enterprise BI environment. Old, good Reporting Services had folder structure. How could this ever been so badly overlooked?

I'm struggling to look senior managers in the eyes and sell PBI Service as top BI platform with such shortcoming.

This is reporting 101. Without folders and the ability to secure folders independently, you cannot use Power BI effectively as an enterprise product. Quite ridiculous this has not received the attention it deserves.
