How to create folders in a SharePoint List

 

First enable the New Folder command. Go to the list that you want to create a folder for. On the List tab, click List Settings.

Click Advanced settings.

Under Make “New Folder” command available, click Yes, and then click OK.

Go back to the list. On the Items tab, click New Folder.

After you create folders in the list, you can then move items into those folders.

2. Under Site Administration, click Content and Structure.

3. On the left, click the name of your large list.
   Note: If you get an error preventing you from seeing your list here, you may need your administrator to move the items for you. Or, you may need to move the items during the Daily Time Window for Large Queries.

5. On the Actions menu, click Move.
6. In the Move… dialog, click the plus sign next to your large list, and then click the folder you want to move the items to.
