Ability to create folders to organize files

[StephanieJoly4]

Scope & Context

Example:
within a given record, let the user organize the files in folders

Current behavior

all files are in one folder

Expected behavior

Create folders and add files to those folders would help maintain organized records

Example:
Company A is your client
You have several projects or customer works to do for them along the years => would be great to organize them in folders to facilitate hand off and collaboration among a team

@StephanieJoly4 one thing to clarify: should these folders have more folders inside aka nested folders? Also, does this feature can be done before this? twentyhq/core-team-issues#224

[StephanieJoly4]

thank you for the prompt review @BOHEUS !

• regarding the nested folders : I'm not sure this is needed, I think this will be a discussion to have based on the LOE it represents.
• regarding your question about the dependancy, I will let the rest of the team confirm that part as I'm not certain

Short version → I don't think we should implement this feature, but we should offer some workaround

Longer version: I think we want to surface files as a standard object. All files would live in a single object, and record page attachments would only be relations to that object. Folders don’t really fit this vision (as you cannot group records in workspace folders). The alternative isn’t clear to me yet, though.

Turning into a discussion to gather ideas
