Folders...for the love of god

For the characters and handouts; An option to add folders and name them to organize. Unless I am the only one with a ridiculous amount of characters and handouts...
I whole-heartedly support this suggestion. Having a way to organize all the character sheets, NPCs, handouts, etc., rather than having a long list to search through would be an immense help. The jukebox and art library could use it as well.

The folder option has been voiced for almost the beginning but the tag use is still the only choice. :( I personally would love to have both choices.

Me too, but the tags people think of us folder people as their distant cousin who doesn't really know how to use the computer. :)
+1 - If I grew a third hand, tags would be a better option. As it is now, my hands are usually too busy to touch type tags into Roll20 and would greatly prefer folders.

I would like the option of using Folders even though I feel like I understand the benefits of tags. Tags are good, just not good enough for completely replacing what's great about Folders for some users.
Use tags as you would folders. Just instead of having a list of folders, you have a list of tags you can add to the search box. Tags really are better. Instead of having say... Orc Warrior (Level 1) character sheet in three different map/encounter folders, you just have one Orc Warrior tagged with three different encounter numbers / map names. It also means that if you make a change to Orc Warrior, you don't have to go find all the copies in however many other folders you've put it into. Get used to tags... they're much more efficient.

You don't need to type tags in. Click the little tags icon to the right of the search box and it will bring up a list of all the tags and you can just start clicking on them to filter for the content you want.
Tags are how we're operating for the time being, thanks!
