Hello powerbiexpert22
Yes it is
You just need to enable a preview feature called Publish dialogs support folders selection
(in Power BI desktop, Files --> Options & settings)Once you publish your report, you'll see all elements in the workspaces and will be able to navigate trough your folders

Yes, Cookistador’s suggestion is correct. In Power BI Desktop:
- Go to File → Options and settings → Options → Preview features.
- Enable Publish dialogs support folder selection and restart Desktop if prompted.
- Select Publish, open the destination workspace, then navigate to the folder you want.
Microsoft documents this as a preview feature. If the option is missing, update Power BI Desktop.

Hi,
Yes, you can. In Power BI Desktop go to File > Options and settings > Options > Preview features, tick “Publish dialogs support folder selection”, and restart. After that the Publish dialog lets you pick a folder inside the workspace.
Two gotchas. If a report with the same name already exists in a different folder, it republishes to that existing location. And report names have to be unique across the whole workspace, not just per folder.
If this helped, feel free to give it a kudos or mark it as solution, helps others find it too.
