The plugin dev is working on a folders feature. Stay tuned.
For the second question, visit your group’s Manage > Docs settings screen, and you’ll see the first option is “enable for this group” and the second is “Minimum role to associate Docs with this group: group members/mods/admins”
Has there been any progress made in getting folders capability? This would be an extremely helpful feature for those groups that have a large number of documents in Docs.
First thanks for a great plugin!
Secondly I’d really like to see this function too. To be alble to sort documents into folders will soon be necessary for us.
Thanks for asking. We’re really close with this feature and are trying to get it cranked out.
Please check out BP Docs 1.9 introducing group folders for docs.
Thank you, working really good!
This is wonderful. I have already created a number of folders and sorted documents into them. One question: How do I create subfolders of folders?
Thanks for any help with this.

Hi amenu – When creating a new folder (via the Folders interface, when editing a Doc), choose an existing folder from the Parent dropdown. This will make the new folder a subfolder of the parent.
Thanks, Boone!
And thanks again for adding the folders capability to Docs. It makes it so much easier for a group like ours that has a ton of documents to navigate through.

I don’t see the Folders interface. Do I have to enable this feature?
Klantomo-
Folders are available in groups only for now, so the place to look for folders is in a group’s docs directory. (And you have to be using Docs 1.9)
David, I am aware of this. I am using Docs 1.9 and I created a group to test this feature. However, I don’t see any option for folders. Where can I add a folder?
Hi Klantomo-
There are a couple of ways to create new folders:
• When looking at a group’s docs library, look for the link “manage folders”.
• When creating or editing a doc that is associated with a group, look for the “Group Folders” meta box, where you can assign the folder or create a new one.
Here are a couple of screenshots: http://imgur.com/a/4ifMb
One caveat: If you’ve overridden docs-loop.php or single/edit.php in a plugin or a theme, you’ll have to update your templates.
Please let me know what you find out,
-David
I have the same problem. No way to add folders: https://hplus.club/groups/life-extension/wiki/
