Restricting the depth of the Document Group hierarchy

While working on UI, we realized, we need to have some control on the depth of the document group hierarchy to make UI and UX better. We have found out that depth of 2 , i.e. 2 sub groups, is sufficient and in most use case, they are more than enough.

We just wanted to take your opinion about this. What do you think about this?

  1. I think this may cause some issues. I agree that a field depth of 2 should be sufficient (I doubt I'll ever use more than that), but I guess that a lot of people will want two or three times that. Is there any way we can display additional depth.
    Take an example of a company with multiple locations, then multiple business units, then departments etc....

  2. Matt - we need a fixed value for the field depth to be able to create some order in the UI.

    Will 4 suffice ?
