@Miro please do consider this idea - our team has been growing and it’s been such a struggle trying to manage all the work we do across the different years - we struggle to look back and try and find references from past work because it’s all lumped together in the project.

Love the idea. Frames to dump infos at side is okay, collapsible container are nicer.
“Fences” (like the Windows Desktop Widget) or  windows into cloud storage would be awesome, too. I know some is probably possible with iframes, but still a native function would be cool.

@Miro this is the biggest drawback to your application. Our project has over 100 people in it and having no folder structure makes it really difficult to order/find boards. We use Miro to collaborate in lots of ways and we really love the tool. Similar applications such as Figjam have the ability to create folders & sub folders. My team is considering making the switch for this reason so you are potentially losing hundreds of users for a simple feature implementation!

Agreed with all the above. Adding my vote. Folders Sub-folders please! Particulary when we bring in and out different third parties from our org. Folder structure is an easy way for them to know where things are and for us to gate their access. Also we have the need to batch boards in a project that happened during a specific time with specific people, but we want that to be discoverable by anyway to be self-evident. E.g. Project A/Q1/Team 1, 2, etc. Q2… 

I agree with this post entirely. Folders, sub-folders, tagging -- all of these can help organize large and small projects over time. I’m coming from using Mural, and wow is this different in a good way! I love Miro and the countless templates while having similar functionality -- makes the switch very easy. However, the organization mentioned in this thread is a major drawback for me. It’s like having your computer desktop cluttered with endless files, or your tablet/phone cluttered with endless apps. Even if you have a great naming convention, it makes finding and organizing your content increasingly difficult as time passes. It is unfortunate that 3 years have passed since this initial request. I am hopeful that this makes it into the product backlog for an upcoming release soon...

An example of the organizational structure from Mural is:
Highest level = Workspace (equivalent to Miro’s Team)
  Sub-levels (these are equal in hierarchy, under the Workspace/Team) =
    Murals (created Boards/Murals, and recommended templates)
    Templates (your created templates, or community templates)
    Rooms (your rooms; highest level of the available ‘folder’ hierarchy). Rooms in Mural can help keep focus on a subject, while having several available sub-folders. For example, this could be an initiative, project, product, type of event/activity for my teams, etc. I organized my rooms based on Type of Event.
    Folders across rooms and other folders can have the same name, so organization is key, and where tagging would be a major benefit. Folders are allowed to be moved, renamed, or deleted, and so are Boards/Murals. As a Scrum Master, my main use case is organized in the following structure, with Rooms being the highest level:
        Team Agile Exercises (Room)
            > Release 1234 (Folder within Team Agile Exercises)
               > Release 1234 - Sprint 1 (Sub-folder of Release 1234)
                   > Scrum Team Name 1 (Sub-folder of Sprint 1)
                       > Board/Mural stored at this level 
                   > Scrum Team Name 2 (Sub-folder of Sprint 2)
               > Release 1234 - Sprint 2
                   > Scrum Team Name 1
                   > Scrum Team Name 2
               > Release 1234 - Sprint 3
                   > Scrum Team Name 1
                   > Scrum Team Name 2
        Team Sprint Retrospectives (Room)
            > Release 1234 (Folder within Team Sprint Retrospectives)
               > Release 1234 - Sprint 1 (Sub-folder of Release 1234)
                   > Scrum Team Name 1 (Sub-folder of Sprint 1)
                   > Scrum Team Name 2 (Sub-folder of Sprint 2)
​​​​​​​               > Release 1234 - Sprint 2
                   > Scrum Team Name 1
                   > Scrum Team Name 2
​​​​​​​               > Release 1234 - Sprint 3
                   > Scrum Team Name 1
                   > Scrum Team Name 2
I hope this creates a better understanding of what I’m looking for, and perhaps others can share their use cases, since mine is singularly focused to Agile/Scrum and what I’d see day-to-day for my Scrum Teams.

I can't believe this isn't a feature. I work on multiple projects, and i hate to put every single board in a single project, that's always alphabetically sorted.

This is essential, I agree.

What I have seen many times is that some Miro employees I’ve interacted with have a default assumption that boards are transitory in nature - make one for a workshop and it is not needed anymore. In other words, the blank template is valuable, but the “used template” is not.

You raise a very good point which is also true in my case: I am using boards to “persist data.” That is, my boards contain essential information that I want to keep and re-use. For example, my teaching slides. They are not just “fire and forget” help for a workshop or project, but they are things that I want to keep and re-use many times. 

How has it been 3 years and... folders?? still haven't been implemented.

Folders. The most basic structure for dealing with file systems. The thing has been a computing staple since the 90s. Those folders. 3 years later. Still not a thing. 

??? 

Please prioritise this feature, we’re developing a large number of assets and need an easier way to group them by sub-project within our programme of work. I used Mural at my previous company and it had this feature, so tempted to migrate us over to there instead.

This is an essential feature which would make working with Miro orders of magnitude easier. We create lots of boards, so having some structure of where to put them would help greatly.

You can kind of hack around this by creating lots of projects, but that becomes messy for the organization. It would be much better if we could simply create folders within the project to keep things organized. Please implement this feature!

This is pretty basic and essential. People have been begging to have it implemented for 3 years already. Your competitors all have this feature. Please prioritize it if you’d like to keep your customers!

Agree with the many users above — this seems like such a no brainer and surprised to see that nothing has changed on this for the 3 years people have been asking for it. 

Please prioritize this!

Please prioritize this!
I’ve been using Miro since 2013(at the time RealTimeBoard built in Flash) and missing this feature has always been a headache. In my current company this is getting worse however and with now 1106 and counting upvotes over three years, it does not feel like Miro takes this seriously with nothing happening on this front.

At least getting a clarification from the Miro team why this is not a priority would be important.

• If it is technical, then why not try to create a virtual folder structure with the filenames pointing to the real files UUIDs in the old structure?
• If it is policy, then tell us why.

Yes, please Organizing projects with subfolders would be a huge relief!
Why not?

@Miro @Miro Community Team @Miro Developer Relations 3 years people have been asking for this feature. Its needed, shouldn’t be a gigantic ask, and will net you some much-needed approval. “GET IT TOGETHER” and make this happen! 3 years of not delivering on this ask makes you look ridiculous.

I solve math exercises from textbooks and want to save each one of them in a board.

Without folders structure, something like book/chapter/set-of-exercises/exercise, it seems unreasonable...

I do want the folder feature really badly, but in the case of what you are doing I believe you would be better served by using a single board and putting each solution within a frame. You could then link to the frames for each specific answer. Frames are searchable using the filters in search. Should work really well for you.

As you probably guessed, I’m a newbie. Thanks for the tip...

How long usually the delivery on these developments?

Coincidentally, today we reorganized our MIRO projects, and complained about the lack of folder structures, meaning we now have a structure like

• Project 1) Archive
• Project 1) Customer
• Project 1) Process
• Project 1) Product Management
• Project 1) Tickets - Done
• Project 1) Tickets - in Progress
• Project 1)​​​ Tickets - On Hold
• Project 2) Archive
• Project 2) Customer
• Project 2) Process
• Project 2) Product Management
• Project 2) Tickets - Done
• Project 2) Tickets - in Progress
• Project 2)​​​ Tickets - On Hold

We keep asking for this as it’s been asked for over the years. Really hope to see this come to fruition as it makes it much easier to put a better structure in place at the team space level.
