PLEASE, having sub files is critical to end of year processes.

The new financial year is coming up. Please can this be actioned ASAP. It will be very helpful for your customers and seems quite backward that it's not available already.

Having sub-files will allow documents to be filed in financial years (effectively archived). Very important as the document library gets full pretty quickly and makes documents hard to find.

Any update on this - as with others my files are becoming so large and unwielding - please can we have sub-folders soonest.

Any movement on this yet?

Any news on this yet, Xero? We were told on Jul 26, 2024 that the team were planning to take a deeper dive into this, and that someone would come back to us when this picks up. The ability to create sub folders in Xero Files is clearly an issue for many practices, and yet more than 6 months since the last comment from Xero, we have heard nothing. It is really disappointing, Xero, that this hasn't been resolved yet, or at least that we have given a time frame for some some action. Do I really have to store my files in a separate system when the Xero subscriptions are already so high, and steadily climbing? Two and a half years (at least) since the idea was first requested, but very little response from Xero. Other accounting packages have this facility, so why not Xero?

With a new year, this is becoming more critical.

Are there any updates on the ability to add sub folders please???

The ability to have subfolders for record keeping for specific years is vital for accountant, i.e. bank loan changes, and all other documentation relating to a specific financial years. These documents don't attach to transactions.

It makes it easier and quicker for the accountant to locate specific records instead, of having to scroll down through all the folders until the right year or folder is found.
Thanks

@Kelly Munro is there an ETA on this?

Having moved all of our clients over on to Xero more than 7 years ago, as you can imagine, each client has its own Files section, some of which are getting so unwieldy that it is becoming a serious. It would make life SOOOO much easier to make some sense of all these folders / documents. So good to hear that a solution may not be too far away now 🙏🎈

This would be such a helpful feature for long term Xero customers to organise their files!

Subfolders in Xero's File Library please.

Xero please please look into this soon. We need to share Year end documents with out accountants and have to organise this under the relevant financial year.

I am very surprised that Xero does not have the technology to allow for subfolders. I was going to upload a few years worth of billing invoices that I have organized on desktop, and was very displeased to see I could not keep the same file structure. Really would like this added soon.

we outsource our book keeping to our accountant and have folders for every month for the receipts - the list of folders is becoming non managable as we have alot and we would like to create main folders for every year and have the months as sub folders. Every other system on the market gives you the ability to have main folders and sub folders so i am surprised xero is still far behind with this technology.

Would love to see this happen sooner rather than later as it will be so much easier to navigate through the documents for each year without too much clutter.

Looking forward to this being added. Thanks!

This is super important. Thanks.

Hi Peace, I asked that very question back in February, but didn't get a response from Xero - hopefully you have more luck than I did 🙏🤔

Any ETA on this?
