Directory File Structure
Our meeting has a lot of files we need to store via a cloud service. It is unclear to me we will be able to do this via Quaker Cloud, as it appears to lack the ability to create a directory structure to store our documents in a way that is organized and retrievable. Is there any way (or plan for the future) to have a directory structure for files stored in the cloud?

In short, I doubt it. A content management system is not a network drive. Quaker Cloud is a content management system. The best practice for the tool is to convert your documents to cloud pages (probably resource pages) and convert the "folder" name into a tag name. This is similar to how Gmail organizes information.

I think Kevin is right: the QCloud isn't really meant for a complex file storage structure. BUT if the files can be divided by something like committee structure (i.e., which committee of the meeting "owns" them) then perhaps you could store them on pages within a sub-site (micro-site?) specific to that committee. That would make it accessible only to members of that committee, which may not be what you want. But that's the only path that occurs to me that might help.
What about using Google Drive for file storage?

One solution is to have a post containing a number of files. For example: Title - 2016 Newsletters, Contents pdf files for each month. Note that you can add files to the list of files already present. So I currently have files for Jan, Feb, and March already posted. You can arange posts on a page to a certain extent.
