Currently, as the head GIS guy for my company, we put a lot of our data on AGOL. However, the other users have to access it through the My Organization tab. This is just a jumbled mess of data, and it is hard to sort through it. Unless there is a better way, I don't know about, I think Folders in the Organization also would help.

this is always a challenging one but usually people overlook the power of combining use of groups, categories and tags that can help people discover what they are looking for.

Yeah. I tried categories and will focus on groups just wish their was an easier way.

@LonerockAdmin 

I prefix the data published to the organisation by its general theme or service area.

For example;

flooding - sepa river extents climate change model
population - small area population estimates
population - census 2022 demographics
roads - adopted roads
roads - winter maintenance

Each team in the platform has their own group for viewers and editors, so if they create their own content that's where to find it first.
It's a wee bit easier than training them to always remember to use categories or tags.

Thanks for the idea @JonathanMcD . Ill keep that in mind.
