OpenAI Team and fellow users,
I want to propose a feature request that I have been craving for a while. I am a firm believer that organization increases productivity. The addition of projects was much needed, but it is just the tip of the iceberg regarding improved chat organization. That said, I am requesting the addition of nested folders (subfolders) inside Projects.
Currently, Projects only allow users to organize documents and conversations in a flat list.
As Projects grow, staying organized becomes increasingly complex, especially when managing 20, 50, or even 100+ documents.
The ability to create folders and subfolders (multi-level organization) would make a massive difference for power users tracking complex workstreams.
Ideally, users would be able to:
- Create a folder tree structure inside Projects
- Drag and drop documents into folders/subfolders
- Collapse and expand folders for cleaner navigation
This would align with the kind of workspace experience many users are familiar with. It would be similar to traditional file management systems (e.g., Windows File Explorer, Mac Finder) but optimized for AI-driven workflows.
If anyone else feels this would help, please like, reply, and/or save this post. Thanks.
