The first thing many of us look when trying to organize many docs in a workspace. Having many workspace is not a solution.

We need folders!

I only have one thing to say:

I NEED FOLDERS ASAP!!!

Thank you

Folders are absolutely necessary if OLW is to be useful. You are on the right track but without folders it is impossible to efficiently deal with a large number of ffiles.

Hello, I registerd just to cast my vote: We realy need folders... this is top priority, second would be an integration into Windows Explorer.

I know it is a beta, I only want to stress out where it needs improvment. For me, at the moment it`s a promising look, good work so far, just keep going!

I just had to register and pick this up again now as I am abandoning any attempt at using OLW for my team. It worked ok without folders for us as long as it was for sharing very simple information, but once we started adding spaces for customers and projects it got insanely cumbersome to have to add and share as many workspaces that it would take to gain a modicum of structure. We need the possibility for nested folders under one workspace.

It's a shame; it's just this one thing breaking the deal. Otherwise we really would have benefited from this product. This is so essential that the lack of it outweighs all the benefits for us.

Will keep an eye on what's coming, but would be nice to know if this was on the agenda any time soon.

TOTALLY AGREE!

I also signed up just to comment on this...

 Adding the nested folders feature is an ABSOLUTE NECESSITY.  Like many others, this is the only thing that is preventing me from using OLW.  Add it, and I'm on board.  Don't add it, and I'll keeping looking for some other tool.  That would be quite sad, since this has so much potential. 

I would have to agree - folders are needed in order for me to function on OLW

The folder issue is almost a year old and still this basic function does not exist. If anyone is truly listening to what users need from this app then I would have expected a resolution by now.

This is not rocket science... or maybe it is for the OLW team?

Folders for me toooooo PLEASE!!!

Are we going to get folders?  I have stopped using and recommending  OLW due to the lack of folders.

Multiple "Top level workspaces" won't ever substitute for a computing world used to organizing data into folders.  I mean we even use physical folders  at out homes and offices.  To tell us that we  don't need folders is synonomous with telling usto look elsewhere for a collaboration tool.

I'm just trying to set up a workspace to coordinate a decent sized project with a fellow student and have  found that it will be  impossible to manage anything  more  than a few  files without the hierarchical storage abilities of folders. 

Without folders, Live Workspaces won't even be a viable product for  a studygroup not to mention a project group. 

Until I see folders, I'll be looking at Google Docs. 

Yea, this wont fly without folders.

 Only casual users can use this... 

 MICROSOFT:  if you eventually add document management to this mod then you should include the option to create folders from the current workspaces so we don't have to manually do this.  Also, you have a Document Management mod...why on earth is this capability not integrated every place a document can be uploaded...that makes no sense from out here.  If the two mods don't play well together then the PM needs to get the two leads in a room and work this out.  You may not have this on a priority list but document organization is fundamental to us.  If there is something in the works...POST IT!!!!

We are looking at switching to another Microsoft service called Mesh (www.mesh.com)

It's a free service that provides 5gb of space with the ability to create folders. It also provides the ability to sync with other computers/devices.
