Some of my teams are going to be getting to the point of having 50+ bases soon.


Please can we make folders and subfolders within a team so that I can get them organised?

Not having a way to organize 5 - 10 bases is fine and all but having 15+ bases to organize can be a bit tricky without a folder system.


Thanks!


Much needed as well as archiving bases!


Yes +1. Just simply adding folders to workspaces would be a huge improvement.


adding my upvote. we have multiple clients and multiple bases per clients. it makes no sense we can’t group these together. it’s so hard to find, esp with so many similar colors.


+1.


Although I don’t see this happening anytime soon. Seems to be an intentional design decision if you look at their plan pricing 😕


+1 for me too. I sincerely hope that limitation isn’t intentional. You don’t limit your product’s features to suit a rigid pricing model, you adapt the pricing model for the software (and the best features for it). Otherwise you won’t be in business long.


Has there been any movement on this? As we use the product and have more and more bases between teams it is getting messy

I am wondering about this too. I think this is something that has actually held us back from upgrading, because right now on the free plan we use workspaces as folders. I’ve hesitated to bite the bullet and upgrade, because I know we will need to migrate everything into one workspace and it’s going to be so messy to keep track of internal documents vs. client work. Please flag this as an issue for your sales team – it might seem like a small issue, but it makes a huge difference for consultants working with multiple clients.


Yeah same here. My team is starting to get very annoyed at this - and using it as a reason to use other platforms, and maintain old bad work practices


+1000, I think this is a serious miss. I have moved over to a different platform (startinifity) for this reason. The type of work that I use this type of solution for (lots of separate events) requires a way to manage them at a high level. I really wish this was possible in airtable because API integrations are the best… 😦


+1 Much needed! Please add this feature - things are getting messy 😦


+1 request for this. Would be so useful to be able to organize bases in folders.


+1… Need now…


+1…need now


+1 … Will help organizing


+1 Needed badly. Folders, Sub Folders, folder level permission. lack of organization limits usability. I find myself creating redundant views, its easier to create a new one than referencing a built out one.


+1 please add this feature soon. The better Airtable gets, the more bases we have, the more organization is needed!


This topic is three years old, can’t believe this still hasn’t been done 💀


An absolute MUST. AIRTABLE is getting SO good, that more organization is Needed. I am currently using color codes, but it is getting Messy. Please fix this!!!


Airtable is wonderful, but this is something basic that it should have. Please make this change for us! thanks


I desperately need something similar for my views!! I need to create a product database for over 8,000 products with 300 product types, and even more sub product types. All this will be accomplished by creating separate views based on product type. I need a folder directory in my view side bar!!


I have used Airtable for a while through third-parties and I just recenlty signed up.


The fact that this feature request has been up for so long leads me to believe that they won’t implement this feature. The reason being that they seem to want you to use Workspaces to do organization… that’s how it was designed, so much in fact, that they felt like adding this message when creating one:



So if you want some semblance of organization, you better be ready to pay for it.


Disappointed.


Why is this not a thing yet? It seems like such a simple thing compared to other features that have been added since we signed on. PLEASE give us some organizational features aside from just creating new workspaces. As a small nonprofit, we can’t justify the cost of paying for more workspaces just to organize our bases.


It really needs it now.

Please make this work. That’s not a big deal at all.


This would be SO helpful. I’m also finding a few of my workspaces to be quite overwhelming.
