Gaia seems to place imported GPX tracks into a new folder by default, and I've also put items in folders by mistake. Once in a folder, you can move items to another folder, but not to the list; i.e. in the 'root' list and not in a folder. It would be great to be able to move items out of folders as needed...

  Hello all,
  
  Folders are now available in the Saved Items sidebar!
  
  We've implemented a lot of the features you've been asking for. Here are some highlights:

  • Nested folders - Items filed to folders are no longer shown at the root level. Opening a folder takes you to a view of just the items in that folder. This functionality should feel familiar to anyone who has used folders in Windows Explorer or Finder.
  • Create, edit, and delete folders from the sidebar.
  • Filter the sidebar by Folders
  • Adds a button to “Create a new item” to the saved items sidebar. Allows you to create new items while inside a folder.
  • Adds the ability to file items and folders to folders. Adds an interface that allows you to either select a recently used folder, create a new folder, or browse your existing folders.
  • Adds the ability to change the visibility of folders
  • Added the ability to un-file an item from a folder.

  There are a few limitations with folders at the movement:

  • Folders shared with you will not be displayed below the root level.
  • From the sidebar, folder privacy can be toggled between public and private, but there is not a way to share or view the details of folders just yet. 
  • If an item is filed to a folder, that folder is not displayed when viewing the item’s details in the sidebar.

  We are continuing to work on this and we have a few follow-ups already planned:

  • Address the current limitations
  • Allow an item to be filed to a folder from its details sidebar
  • Improve support for shared folders

  
  You can read more about working with folders in the sidebar here. Scroll down to the bottom see how to un-file items.

  If you have any issues or feedback please reach out to Support here.

  Yeah I always wondered about that. How do you move out of a folder.

  Nathan's solution did not work for me. The only folder-related option is to "change folder" but I want to "remove from folder".

  Thanks Kristin.  How do you move/remove items from folders in a Web Browser?
