I am experimenting with using the groups feature to organize communications for a large community project. There will be a lot of content generated/stored on the group, and I would like to be able to organize it in folders so that it is easier for members to find the information that is pertinent for them.

Right now, the file database is the only module with this option, and I'm not sure if it is possible to drag and drop files from one folder to another, or if things have to be manually removed and re-added if we want to switch folders.

I would like there to be folders for:
groups
discussions
wikis
resources
organizations
events
jobs

and ideally, have the ability as the group admin to move content from one folder to another.

Please let me know if this is possible, and if so, when it might be able to be implemented.

Besides keeping the group's own content organized, this would help to solve a problem that I'm currently having with outside members creating connections to things that do not relate to our group specifically, but would be nice to keep on the site in a way that doesn't distract or confuse the members. I could create folders for this "recommended by others" which would allow people to check them out if they are interested.

I look forward to hearing from you!

thanks,
Lauren
