First Question... Is there an option to create folders to group characters in the Character Builder or My Characters? With a paid account, we have the ability to create unlimited characters and it would be a convenient feature that the current filters cannot accomplish.
Next Question... NPCs. Is there a NPC option in the Character Builder (or in development)? I have created full character sheets for my "major" NPCs, but it's too much info for minor NPCs. I am now looking at the Create Monster tool in the Homebrew section as an option.
Final Question... is there an option for sharing or "gifting" characters? My son and I have paid subscriptions, but I have created a character for him and can send a link to the character, or a PDF, but can we import those characters into our personal Character pools?
I am using Beyond primarily as a character creator and collector, but I have not expanded too much into the Encounter Builder or My Campaigns tools, yet.

Not yet, but I think it’s planned.
The Monster Homebrewer is the tool designed for all “monsters,” including NPCs. (I make my important ones as PCs too, as do many others.)
Start a campaign. Copy the campaign link and “paste and go” into your URL field and you will given the opportunity to “create unassigned character” or select a character you have already built. Select the character in question and scroll to the bottom to “join campaign.” Then, “unasign” the character. Send your son the same campaign link that you used, and he will be given the options to “create,” “join,” or “claim” an unassigned character already in the campaign.
Campaigns allows you to group your characters. Its a little odd how to do it:
Create campaign
Copy link
Send Yourself a text with the link
Select character to join campaign.
If you want other players to have access to those characters you have to then set the character to unclaimed.
I tried this a couple days ago and received an error message saying that you can't message yourself. Actually, I tried to send myself a message from my Beyond account, my bad. The text idea does work but, I hadn't really seen the point in adding myself as a contact to call/text so, I had to set it up.

You can just copy the link and paste it into the url field. No need to send anything since you already have it.

I hope this has been helpful.
