Infisical's folder feature lets you store secrets at a specific folder; we also call this **path-based secret storage**.
This is great for organizing secrets around hierarchies when multiple services, types of secrets, etc. are involved at great quantities.
With folders that can go infinitely deep, you can mirror your application architecture (be it microservices or monorepos)
Infisical Folders enable users to organize secrets using custom structures dependent on the intended use case (also known as **path-based secret storage**).
It is great for organizing secrets around hierarchies with multiple services or types of secrets involved at large quantities.
Infisical Folders can be infinitely nested to mirror your application architecture – whether it's microservices, monorepos,
or any logical grouping that best suits your needs.

We also store user-specific secrets for micro-service 1 under `/service1/users`. With this folder structure in place, your applications only need to specify a path like `/microservice1/envars` to fetch secrets from there.
