Subfolders
in progress

It would be very convenient to have the ability to have subfolders. I use folders for classifying projects. For example, Projects would be a Folder name. 2019 Projects would be a Subfolder name.

Hey everyone!
I know it has been a very long wait, and we're all eager to better organize our work with Subfolders.
As I've mentioned before, this one requires a lot of collaboration to make sure we build Subfolders to be performant, reliable, and seamless across the entire platform.
We're currently working on a new permissions model that will allow us to support Subfolders and streamline our permissions checks across the entire product. We're pushing to complete that work by the end of our Q2 (end of July), and once that work is complete, we'll be able to have a much more accurate estimate on when the rest of the Subfolders work will be done. I know that's not the answer most of you are looking for, but we want to be as transparent as possible and not share dates that we aren't confident in ourselves. Thank you for your continued patience, and we can't wait to get this into your hands!

This was mentioned so many times it crazy. Not having any updates after saying it's coming is just disrespectful to say the least. I am now at a point that I will be offering my clients other solutions instead of ClickUp. There's so many alternatives that doing business like this is just strange.

Honestly everyone, after this long it's clear there's really only one way forward for us users without switching. Clickup is doing everything it can to bury this issue and control the narrative. 10.4k votes as of today and the feature request is suspiciously hidden away dozens and dozens of items below requests with single digit votes. This is evidenced by the recent insulting policy of wordlessly merging every new subfolder request into this one because they don't want to risk anyone finding out about the issue unless they desperately search for it. Clearly people keep making new requests because they can't even find this one. In other words, this is an echo chamber. We can all yell but nobody will hear us except for each other.
What surprises me is that there's absolutely zero media coverage surrounding this issue. A Google search turns up at most recent a question on Reddit from 9 months ago. Meanwhile, I've been seeing all these articles about how the CEO of Sonos was fired for the "disastrous" launch of their new app in May. As a Sonos user, I never even had an issue with their app but the media latched onto this narrative and it spun out of the company's control. The same thing has to happen here if there's ever any progress to be made on Subfolders. Whoever knows tech and business journalists, interact with them via social media, or even just wants to send anonymous tips need to make the tech/business journalism industry aware of this so they can turn it into a story. 10,000 users angry and ready to revolt, written proof of broken promises and a clear record of ignoring customers? There's gotta be a headline here somewhere. Just one of us threatening to cancel our subscription means little to ClickUp, but a negative journalistic narrative being built is a real threat to their reputation and that's really the only power we have over a firm like this that has clearly begun operating in bad faith towards its users. If we can get this to become a story, it will snowball out of control as other journalists try to cash in on the narrative. I implore you all to go post on Twitter, email journalists, and post publicly about this on the official subreddit so prospective customers researching Clickup are aware that this basic feature is not available. Only if this is becomes a public debacle will there be an adequate incentive for ClickUp to put the resources towards overcoming the clearly significant development hurdles regarding this request.

Alexander Nguyen You're quite correct, I suspect the threat of reputational damage is about all that will get this moving. I remember voting for this back in 2019 and then being disappointing every year since. Including the version 3.0 release which was supposed to give the architecture to do this.
We're now voting with our digital feet and moving to Monday.com.
To your other item, I am a Sonos user too, who can no longer get to my local media library. So they're not getting any more money from me either :|

I keep telling my clients this is launching... and then it never seems to launch. ETA? We're all desperately waiting for this since it impacts our setup...

Is that hard to communicate to you "valued" customers about timeframes? What people hate far more than not having something is the uncertainty, especially when it's been advised something would happen in July 2024 and in Jan 2025 there's still not even an update on where it's at. If you say we've run into some issues and it's pushed back our timerames till XYZ but we are still focused on it people would be far more accepting!
Tiffany Patton
Can we get an update on this. Our business is growing and without subfolders, we are outgrowing ClickUp!
Jereme Lambert
YES!!! Subfolders please. So glad it is on the radar and in process. It can't come fast enough.

2025 is the year of the subfolder I can feel it
Sammy Bohannon
Do we have an update on subfolders? I REALLY could use them to keep my workspace organized and the workspaces of my clients.

Scott Lawson
This really needs to be put into place so that we can prep our spaces for 2025 without having to completely re-edit them once already started...

Desperately pushing their AI feature instead of working on what people are actually requesting.
