The Neat Company Forums

I would like to see, above all, is the ability to add sub-folders to collections - exactly like the implementation in Mariner's Paperless.  Having only one level of folder results in a huige list of collections with many documents to sift through in each bin. 

I triple and quadruple that request. I just go the software and scanner and after going through the whole documentation I realized you couldn't create simple sub folders which is a basic feature on all Mac software. I find this completely unacceptable and ludicrous for a program that claims to be an organizational tool. The product description boasts that this software was designed from the ground up for the mac and is not a cheap version of the PC software but yet they have this feature for PC's. I have a hard time understanding how the programmers could have overlooked such an essential and "no-brainer" feature. How are we supposed to recreate our paper file cabinets without sub folders. For example if I have 10 years of bank statements and I want to subdivide them by year, I currently have to create 10 collections that fill up the collection column (and so on for each category) when I should simply be able to put each year in one in one main folder. Maybe Neat company should hire programers that know some basics about filing or at least have expert consultants... Shame on you! Please redeem your company name by offering a quick free update for something that should have been implemented in the first release. 

A very disappointed user,

It is absolutely ridiculous that they have such a mac like folder interface to the app but DO NOT support multiple sublevels of folders.

What I had HOPED to do was break up my top level into year 2007, 2008, 2009 and a General folder then have sublevels of receipts/docs that are year specific in folders below that level.

NEAT?!?  This would be SOOOOO easy for you to do!
