<p>A <strong>Folder</strong> is how we will organize <strong>Contacts </strong>/ <strong>Message Logs </strong>/ <strong>Documents</strong> for a single subject.</p>
<p>There are application <i>limits </i>that apply to folders</p>
<ol>
  <li>You can have up to 5 folders associated with your account.</li>
  <li>Each folder can have no more than <strong>10 Gigabytes</strong> of uploaded documents.</li>
</ol>
<p>Each folder can have a unique set of tags, and collaborators.</p>
