Data subfolders in Qlik Sense SaaS

It would great to see the ability to support either/and:

a) folders in Qlik Sense SaaS (similar to the way Qlik Sense Enterprise Client-Managed works on the WIndows file system)

Current Example:
Adding a '/' to signify a folder just adds this to the filename, doesn't create a directory

b) when configuring a connection via Qlik Data Transfer, use the 'Name' field of the Data connection as another option under 'Data Files' in the data manager (and thus the Data load editor)

Current Example:
The current method stores everything within a single folder per space - when dealing with large amounts of data/synced QVDs from databases through Qlik Data Transfer, this can be very off-putting by the user - especially lacking the 'wildcard' ability client-managed has

Possible implementation/example:

@frigoar1  thanks for adding this. I did not appreciate that using cloud storage would mean any read of a file would be a full scan. That alone means that it is not a viable approach for us.
