  Here is a way to prefix the filename (not sure if folders are supported)

  
  

  // Field
  {
    name: 'original',
    label: 'Original filename',
    type: 'text',
    admin: { hidden: true },
  },
  // Hook
  beforeOperation: [
    async ({ operation, args }) => {
      if (operation === 'create') {
        // Save original filename
        const original = args.req.files.file.name || 'example.jpg'
        args.data.original = original
  
        // Add filename prefix
        args.req.files.file.name = new Date().toJSON().slice(0, 10) + '-' + original
      }
    },
  ],

  Hey @mihanc - you could also organize your media by adding a tag field or similar, then you can filter by this tag in your collection view.
