I have multiple bases in a workspace and some of them are related, even having synced tables, and other have nothing to do with the others around them. Folders would help organize my workspace.

As mentioned -- not sure if it's useful to note it here -- but we absolutely need this feature. 

I was honestly really confused by the standard AirTable format as I had created multiple workspaces assuming they were folders, and was then confused when I saw that these new folders were under the free plan even though we had signed up for the team plan. Took me a minute to realize I needed to move everything into the team plan workspace and was then further confused by the inability to organize all the bases. 

It's honestly surprising that AirTable did not include folders as a feature when it launched.

It's one of the most basic and pervasive ways of organizing information on a computer or software application.

There's a reason why Windows, Apple, Google etc. all choose to provide users with a folder system for their products.

I'm beginning to wonder if Airtable is listening to us on this. This has been a BIG request for a long time. Like @airtableguy said, this is a basic function of 99% of any organizational software available and this is definitely an organizational software. This is a must and is making me consider moving my stuff somewhere else and no longer paying Airtable as I grow in my business.

This was a huge point of confusion initially as well when I just started. I thought workspaces were like folders, until I realized I would be paying hundreds and thousands of dollars just to organize my bases properly. All we need is an option to group bases in folders to be better organized. It would be nice to have an "Archive Base" Feature as well.

Any update on this Airtable staff?

How do you expect us to organise bases coherently without it?!?!

@dashler78, is there any progress on this yet? This seems like such an easy fix that would cure significant headaches, given how disorderly the home screen is.
