I am surprized that I can’t organize my boards in folders. I have just started with Miro and I have only 10 boards and even that is hard to manage. I have to believe people have hundreds of boards as I will have someday. How do they organize boards?
Why can’t I create a folder structure?
My solution is to name boards like this:
AA - Board 1
AA - Board 2
BB - Board 1
etc…
This is pretty hokey.
Any ideas?

Hi @11 Sun,
Welcome to Miro, and thanks for sharing your feedback! I understand—it can be tricky to keep boards organized, especially as the number grows. While Miro doesn’t currently offer folders for board organization, here are a few tips that might help:
Naming Conventions: As you mentioned, starting board names with categories (like AA, BB) can be useful. Some users add dates or project codes to help identify boards quickly.
Projects Feature: If you’re on a paid plan, you can use Projects to group related boards. This is similar to folders and can help streamline navigation.
Tags: Adding tags to boards can make it easier to find specific boards through search.
Dashboard Search and Filters: Try using the search bar and filters on your dashboard to quickly locate boards by name or owner, especially if they’re tagged or grouped by project.
If folder organization is something you’d love to see in Miro, please consider submitting this as a feature request via our Wish List. Our team reviews these requests regularly, and community input really helps shape future updates!
Hope this helps a bit, and feel free to reach out if you have more questions as you get started.
Thanks for responding. I am on the paid Starter Plan.
I don’t see “Projects” anywhere. I dont see it in the interface and it is not mentioned on your pricing page.
What is a project and where can I find them?
Thanks,
Hi @11 Sun,
Thanks for getting in touch!
You may want to check the Spaces (previously known as Projects).
This acts like a folder where you can add your boards and categorize them based on your preference.
Thank you! That should work perfectly for me.
Geez why do they have to come up with a different name for folders???
Hi @11 Sun,
You’re very welcome! I’m glad to hear that Spaces (formerly known as Projects) will work well for you.
And I understand your point—it can be a bit confusing with different terminology! "Spaces" essentially function as folders, but with some added flexibility for organizing and collaborating with teams. Hopefully, now that you’ve got a handle on it, managing boards will feel more streamlined!
If any other questions pop up, feel free to ask.
Thank you! That should work perfectly for me.

Coming soon: Sections, which will be folders within spaces, i.e., sub folders.
Still, Spaces is only one level. I have a “Space” for an area of our department but there can be multiple projects inside that space that I need to still organize into folders. Will this be coming soon? I’m going to be adding quite a lot of boards in here over time so they need to stay organized by project. Sections, I believe are within one board, which also does not help me. There is no option at this level to add sections that I could find.
Also frustrated with this. The original reply referred to Tags. I searched for that, but that seems to be within a board, not relating to boards in Spaces.
BC its run by people who think like coders and programers and not people who actually collaborate.
They want us to vote on something that should just be a basic standard. $20 a month and I can’t create folders or sub folders. Company
Hi @samiamkullab, @Mike Peppou, @Hulya Huseyin
Thanks for sharing your honest feedback — I hear your frustration, and you’re definitely not alone in wanting more flexible organization options at the Space level.
While I understand it doesn’t solve everything right now, I wanted to share that Miro’s product team has been exploring improvements based on this type of feedback. As mentioned earlier, Sections within Spaces (essentially a way to organize boards more deeply) are planned.
Appreciate you taking the time to share your experience — helping to surface real user challenges like this is important.
Hi everyone, thank you for your patience!
As per the team, sections are now available and can be used by Space members with Editor access or higher. To do this, you need first to open a board. Then open the side bar > create new. Click Add Section.
Hope this helps!
@Eca No one asked for this. How are we supposed to organize dozens of board we already created? Why would someone have to click on a board first in order to see how their boards are organized? This should live on the home page where you have access to all your boards.
Hi @samiamkullab — thanks for sharing your honest feedback. I understand how frustrating it can be when updates don’t match your expectations or workflow. I’ve passed your thoughts along to the product team, especially regarding the desire to manage board organization directly from the homepage.
Appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us.
