Public Folders in Office 365
Hi Jesper
While there has been a lot of talk about the death of Public Folders, Microsoft is still supporting them and currently isn't planning to deprecate them either. On the other hand Microsoft is actually still rolling out a few features for Public Folders on cloud. However, it is true that Office 365 Groups is being actively promoted as the modern collaboration tool and there are a slew of features lined up for it.
I understand that folder hierarchy is important in your setup but could you possibly try to migrate certain subfolders to Groups and see how that works out for you? Even though Groups doesn't support a folder hierarchy, it offers a much superior collaboration experience.
We have just started a Beta program to test out the migration of content from Public Folders to Groups and if you are interested I could sign you up for it.
