# How do folders work, and do I need Pro for them?

Folders nest as deeply as you like and live in the sidebar. Browsing them is free on every tier. Creating one, renaming it, or moving a note into it ("New folder" and "Move to folder") is where Pro starts, so a free account can always read a structure it imported or built while on Pro. An "Unfiled" row lists every note that sits in no folder.

A note lives in one folder at a time, the way a file does. Reach for [tags](https://privacynotes.app/help/tags/) when something belongs in two places at once. The folder is stored inside the encrypted note, so the server sees your structure no better than it sees your text.
