Make folders for my organization content

It would be really handy if it's possible to make folders for the content of the organization like you can do with your own content.

@BartdeBoerHK

I manage content within my admin account by specifically named folders, eg:

-=Organisation Maps=- , -=Organisation Datasets=- etc etc

I then further manage content via a series of Groups, tags, categories etc.

I don't use another account, so all my content is within the admin account. Sticking to your folder setup keeps things in line.

Unsure what difference there is to your suggestion.

I think the suggestion is to be able to organize your organization's data in a way that makes sense to you, the user. For me, I'd like to organize by the resources the data represents (mineral rights vs. land cover, for example), but you might want to organize by data source (USGS vs Marion County).

Here are a few related ideas:
