I know this has been requested a handful of times but want to riase again.

I would love to see the ability to add sub folders within project files.

I work for a large organisation in which we have multiple teams and products. I work within the website team which has a whole bunch of delivery squads within in. We use the current project folders for each of our squads. The enables us to keep all the squads under one website team within the organisation structure. Having sub folders would be super beneficial.

👋🏻 Hey ​@Joey_Graham and ​@Marc8 — checking in here with an update that may be useful!

Figma is rolling out nested folders, so the subfolders setup you asked for now exists. Projects are becoming folders, and you can nest them up to 10 levels deep — so your website team can hold a subfolder per delivery squad, with each squad's files underneath, all under the one team. You can also color folders to tell them apart at a glance.

Full details, plus a place to put questions to the product team during the rollout, are here: Rolling out: Projects become folders 📂 ✨
