Folders and nested subfolders
I want to be able to use folders and sub-folders. I use strongbox on iOS which is based on keepass. It allows for as many folders and sub-folders that you want. I use folders to keep my stuff organized. I don't like having all my passwords and whatever in one big long list. I also using keepass as a bookmark manager. I really like the idea of your "vaults", but again I have over like 3000 bookmarks and folders are really needed. Also attachments with built in viewer is also important. I like to convert a lot of websites to PDF and store them as attachments, so I can view them later. Keepass is the only one that can view said items, everyone else you have to download said item to view the attachment.

I'd prefer tags over folders. Tags are more versatile especially if smart search is included to show existing tags when typing. But yes, some level organization and search is needed.

I will not commit to Proton Pass until it features robust organization. Like many other commenters here, I have nearly a thousand entries in my current application, pwSafe (Windows / Mac/ iOS / Android), and Proton Pass fails to meet my need for organization.
pwSafe is not directly supported for import to Proton Pass so I exported pwSafe to .cvs and formatted my content to match a Chrome import to Proton Pass. This worked procedurally, but I lost every bit of organization and it's a jumbled mess in Proton Pass. It's just not usable.
Whether folders or tags or both, this is needed immediately to be viable for power users. Both folders and tags would be best for those (including me) who use a mixed approach.
Vaults are not a substitute for folders or tags. This is just not practical. If limiting vaults is a method to encourage subscribing to the Pass Pro feature set, there's got to be a better answer. Proton Pass is also too jammed-up in window size to accommodate titles of any length. There's so much potential here and these missing and crippled features would be incredibly simple to deploy and/or fix in a database structure. I do hope you folks get on with this.
I'm posting here because this thread has the most votes, but the fact there are 2 features mentioned is weakening the importance. Someone at Proton should straighten this out and make 2 threads of it. I'm probably going to create a 2nd account to bring this under one thread and apply another 3 votes to it.

I agree with this suggestion. I wouldn't mind having a labelling feature as well, like with emails.

Upvoted folder or Tag feature. It is a must have feature before migrating to proton pass. Please proritize

Adding my votes. It should also be able to import folders from existing managers

I think that this thread represent two separate requirements:
1) having a subfolder structure
2) allowing attachmentsI really need a Folder and Subfloder structure to best arrange all my data.
A sub vault structure also would work; the idea is to be able to arrange the stored data in more than one level. For me this requirement is CRITICAL.For the attachment, i see the need for it but I personally does not need it for the moment. It would consume even faster your space available on Proton servers

Please, we need folders and sub-folders to organize the logins in the Vault.
Proton Pass Import should import all the logins with the folder hierarchy.
We imported 1066 objects into Proton Pass; in the previous Password Manager, these objects were organized in the folder hierarchy.
In Proton, now all mixed up ☹
For example, we have multiple logins for the same website, which were organized in sub-folders based on the login type and role.
Now, in Proton Pass, we can’t distinguish between them; the only way is to check the username.
Not sure how Proton Pass auto-fill will work for these items, as all entries have the same website URL.

I will also like to say proton maybe slow at rolling things out, but at least they have things right when they do roll out something. Unlike some companies that will roll out something then worry about bugs and security issues later.

I feel this request is a bit a mix of 2 separated ones:
- one concerning correct import of folders/hierarchy from other pwd mngrs
- one concerning attachments of files to an itemI feel that if a bit or order can be made, this would be easier to tackle for Proton and more effective.
Regarding the file attachment missing feature, there's already a specific request: https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/953584-proton-pass/suggestions/46854553-support-tiny-file-attachments
That is what I'd like to request specifically, personally.
Not being able to attach files directly to the items (e.g. 2FA recovery codes image, text files with backup encryption recovery key), maybe through a ProtonDrive integration, that would be super, is what's keeping me now from switching over from KeePass. -

I will also like to add unless Ayne is a fortune teller or someone who can see the future what does he know what proton will do? Unless he works for proton then maybe I am wrong....

Hello Ayne Hancer, Don't tell me how to use my password manger. If I want to use it for "Bookmarks" that's my business. Most people don't realize that bookmarks can tell alot about you and I wish to keep my bookmarks private. The best way to do that is a password manager. If it is good enough for passwords then it is good enough for bookmarks too.

"attachments with built in viewer" Proton will never add it in your lifetime...
A password manager is not for that kind of use... Get Anytype for that instead.
This is not a bookmark nor a pdf manager, you use the wrong tool.But simple attachments and sub-folders, yes, really needed, I think they must be added in 2047, maybe later... Because it's the Sloweeessstttt company ever...

Definitely needs attachment feature. Example: Drivers License entry might include a .png attachment of the actual front/back of license card.

Nice idea, it’s a kind of bookmark manager then….

I imported from Bitwarden also. Like others, none of my vaults imported separately, just all 300+ the logins into one vault. I created some additional vaults in Proton Pass to match my current Bitwarden vault names, and, one by one, moved logins to each new vault. After tediously doing so, I was then unable to sort the logins alphabetically in the new vault. Very frustrating.

I was impressed until I tried importing from BitWarden and saw all my logins dumped in one mess.
Having my existing folder structure would provide a seamless migration.
I'm new to having multiple vaults, so being able to select folders that become their own vaults would be a great way to start using this feature.

Either add folders or subvaults. When managing various physical or logical sites for a single organization in a professional setting it's convenient for each site to have its secure information grouped together, followed by all sites grouped under an umbrella vault for the organization (which also has its own entries for organization-wide secured info).
Given that the ability to share vaults is on the roadmap, having multiple levels of subvaults would be ideal — allowing for a subvault and any subvaults it contains, recursively, to be shared with a relevant manager.
And add a plus one for me on the addition of tags.

Using Bitwarden for some years, folders sorting is a critical feature for this app (after a desktop app idea). Adding little attachments is also useful.
