Folders (directories) in projects

@Manouska - thanks for the update, good luck for the team! 🙂 

PRAISE BE TO GOD OR ANY DEITY OF YOUR CHOOSING

Any word on the ETA? It looks like it was moved to ‘IN DEV’ 3 months ago? Is that right?

Hi All,

Just thought I’d share. I took it upon myself to tackle this problem from a product design standpoint using this forum thread as primary research. Check it out if you’d like!

This was very informative, and I love the Indepth insight into how the development prep and path has gone. Is there an estimated delivery of this feature?

Hi Zack,

Thanks for your comment glad you enjoyed it! This was actually just a personal project I took on for my own personal UX portfolio and I don’t have any professional link to Miro, so I’m in the dark as well as to when this feature will be delivered. When I started this as a side project this feature wasn’t in development.

Hello beloved Miro team, any news on that feature going live? I mean, is quite some time under development to add folder options isn’t it? Can you at least give an estimate on ETA? Thanks in advance.

@Manouska J  Is there a way to see the different features that Miro has in development?

It has been a couple months since someone asked, so I will again:  Any estimated delivery date for this feature?  I was told by someone at Miro that it was in development, but haven’t heard anything in 6+ months.   

Any news on this? It’s been *years* since people have been asking for this feature. Great that it’s now in development. It’d be really super to hear when it’s going to be launched so we can get organising things  to be more, well, organised…

This is core functionality. I don’t know how this project is managed if this feature is still not available in your product. It was requested 4 years ago … For this reason I think Miro is not meant for large scale, multi layered applications.

What is the current status of implementation? Nothing seems to have changed in four years. Thank you.

It moved to “In Development” 12 months ago. Their new “Spaces” brought me back to this thread and I hope it’s the first step to this being released soon :)

Hi everyone!

Thanks for upvoting this idea! Our team is at work on this; stay tuned for the latest updates and releases on our Changelog.

Thank god it is on its way, hopefully it is delivered soon. I just started a trial for a business plan for my own use and the lack of this feature would single-handedly make me choose another whiteboard tool.
I need my tooling to help me get organized, not contribute to the mess ^^

Miro continues to ignore their long time customer’s needs.  My company started on this platform in 2014 and I struggle every day trying to find things.  The introduction of spaces, renaming features and moving UI elements keeps making it worse.   The idea to allow an organization to manage their own folder structure for their content should not be difficult to comprehend or implement.  The fact that this issue was raised more than four years ago, is one of the top issues in this community and has been “in development” for a year with no clear feedback to the community on exactly what they are developing really boggles the mind.

Sorry for the rant - it was inspired by 30 minutes of searching and clicking and not finding an old board.  Fortunately, I had some screenshots from that board in a Google Doc that was both searchable and well organized, so that helped 😐.

@Mike Mansfield - Agreed. I would like to to just feel more “useable” outside of the boards themselves.

With Projects now being called Spaces, it was announced during Canvas ‘24 on Oct 8, 2024, that “Sections” will be coming very soon:

Space “Sections”

Sections allow users to structure their spaces meaningfully by grouping content in one additional layer of hierarchy.

@Robert Johnson - I just hope that the one new level, ”Sections”, isn’t the final solution or what they indicated has been in development related to this thread.

To my astonishment, Miro lacks this essential feature. With only five business licenses available for trial, it seems like an unnecessary expense

​@Suraj Rahel - Miro’s answer to this will be called Sections, which will be added under Spaces (FKA folders). I suspect this will start rolling out any day now as just this morning I caught a flash of a popup in my dashboard that mentioned “Sections”, but then it disappeared.

The sections feature on the side panel is a disaster. 😡

We just need folders to organize the projects, that's all we need. 

It really does seem like such a terrible implementation that you wonder how they could get it so wrong. 

Sections act as folders so thats good, but only after you find and access a board. So sections are inconsistent, how can you use a feature if it’s only there if the user is accessing it from the right place. 

If adding a feature that helps organise why wouldn’t you start with the entry point to accessing boards, I hope they are planning to add sections to the dashboard but I am still puzzled why they would release it in stages like this as it’s just confusing.
