Was just coming here to recommend this! I keep all of my PCs and NPCs on D&D Beyond and the "my characters" page has gotten rather cluttered. I really need a way to organize them.
Bumping this, I'd dearly love to have either folders or tags that would let me separate active characters, characters from one-shots that I don't want to delete the sheets for because they matter to me, dead characters, concepts, etc...
Can it work to create campaigns to serve as sorta-folders, like "One-Shot Characters to Save", or "Graveyard"? I see that you can only do content-sharing for 5 campaigns, but if you're just needing somewhere to set characters that already have their features added, couldn't this work for now? Your "My Characters" are still going to be messy though, so actual folders are still definitely something worth requesting and implementing.
I'd like to throw my hat in the ring for this feature. I run multiple campaigns and keep all characters and NPCs on DNDBeyond. However, people have been asking for this since way back to 2018, so and there has been no official response from the developers. I too am shocked about this, given the number of people over time who have asked for it. If they want more people to subscribe, maybe they could make the folders a subscription feature. It's ridiculous that those of us who are paying our hard-earned money into their product cannot get a simple feature added over a 4-year period.
Oh, this, so much this please! I run a lot of one shot games with pregenerated characters and if I want to offer my players some variety and choice I'll usually have between 8 to 12 options for them to choose from. Multiply that by 4 campaigns so far and more on the list to come plus my regular game characters plus characters from games that have ended.... It won't be long until I'm pushing 150+ characters. Talk about endless scrolling to find one specific toon.
Still hoping for this everyday! It will really help any DM running multiple campaigns or one-shots. The My Character page alone can get overwhelming when you can create over 100 characters.
Adding another signature to this petition. I'm hopeful it's coming from their dev update video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbdSOhUPN2k&list=PLPjdPog_vKX1wY1j_K-H8u6rqyQVZ5YSN&index=5] -- fingers crossed it's just a case of when.
Similar... whether you call them folders or something else, just a simple way to organize characters. I am thinking of it like this... just something simple.

Thanks for posting the link. I'm sure it was intentional that the update was super vague because people tend to get itchy when they give specifics and then life gets in the way and they can't deliver on all of the promises. I don't typically watch the updates, but I noticed that one was from April. Of course, this thread has been going for about 2 years now, and still nothing, so even if it's been 3 months since then with still no good way to organize characters, at least it's good that maybe they're at least considering the possibility of finally doing something about this lingering issue that could potentially be actually good. LOL Still not gonna hold my breath!
I like this. Even if it is WotC pre-generated 3-4 folders. Also, if folders are too hard for page structure, how about tags and sorting by tags? Anything that will allow us to group on the my character's page.

Does anyone think with WOC now owning this, will there be more or less of a chance of ever being done?

Was coming to the Forums for this and would really like this to be implemented. Being able to group my characters would be great.

I would like to bump this as well - it would really really help organizing the Character page.
Let's not forget about this fantastic feature! We need it!
I think this style would be awesome!!
Joining the effort to bump this. Hope this will be implemented some day!
Here to bump as well, everyone has basically already said exactly what I'd say as well and what I'd want.
Please, PLEASE, we need folders !!! The My Characters page is an absolute hot mess, and I feel like a simple folder system would solve SO MUCH !

Bumping as I would love some sort of folder feature.
I'd second... or I guess 92nd it. C'mon WOC, let's get 'er done.
Up! it would be great to have folder for characters
Welcome to the cause, WildRambler! :D
