<p>Media Folders Lite is a simple solution that gives WordPress the ability to create a real custom upload path for your attachments. Also in WP Media Library you can filter them by folders.</p>
<h3>Why?</h3>
<p>Because the default WordPress media file paths are not very good. You can opt for year and month folders which may seem useful if you are reusing content but affect SEO. The other option is to put all the files in a folder that doesn’t scale when you start to have a lot of files.</p>
<p>Too many files in a folder can cause performance issues on file systems like EXT4. If all your files are in the same folder, you will also run into file name conflicts.</p>
<h3>Media Folders Lite – Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Create real folders for your attachments.</li>
<li>Select the desired folder when uploading an attachment.</li>
<li>Filter attachments by folders in WP Media Library.</li>
</ul>

Organize Media Folder

Everything in this plugin was done in so WordPress - way, so it integrates in media library, after a while using it, you will forget it is a separate plugin.
My only objection goes to some illogical way things work - when creating a new folder you must first enter a name of the folder and then press "save settings", which is not most logical option from UX/UI (button beside labeled "create folder") would be better, since creating folder is not a setting. Also, upload folder could be set through settings, but on the top admin bar, upload folder is not synchronised with this. If those things would be resolved, I would give it a five stars, for a free plugin it does the job very well!

Very handy plugin!
