Hi all, is there any way to create folders within Storage?

Summary

Developers inquire about creating folders within Storage for separating uploaded files based on users. Currently, the implementation is not available, but a workaround involves creating a collection for file metadata to mimic folder-like structures. Storing file links in a separate database is an alternative but considered overkill.

Not currently, what are you needing folders for?

I want to separate uploaded files based on users, so that I can only see those that are in the folder under their ID. I can currently solve this with the other database by storing them there links, but I find this a bit overkill

I know in the past they did a mass survey to see thoughts on folders, but I do not believe they are something that is implemented yet. For now you'd have to create a collection for file metadata to achieve some folder-like structure.
