I'd really like a more robust folder system. I use maybe one percent of the PDFs I get and they're buried who-knows-where. I'd really like to be able to create a personalised "favorites" folder to easily store those PDFs I'm likely to use as they come out (I rarely download them until some years later).

Aside from subscription PDFs, I make a point of downloading them immediately. I have a detailed folder structure on my PC and things go where they belong right away. That folder gets duplicated to my laptop occasionally, for those on-the-go moments.
I encourage you to do similar if only because it's best-practice. Digital purchases are a vulnerable, ephemeral thing. In very rare cases, licenses have been pulled and PDFs cease being available for download. In less rare cases, hosting providers have gone under and libraries have become inaccessible. While I absolutely trust Paizo, it is almost possible for something unforeseen and unannounced to happen and the product you've paid for stop being available to you.
Online hosted anything is a volatile product. It's up to us to protect ourselves.

I appreciate the advice. it certainly makes sense (and I made a half hearted attempt at one point to guess what I was going to want and to download those in advance).
In my case, PDFs are of such negligible value it’s not something I can trust myself to keep on top off. The click, wait, click, scroll, click, wait, unzip, save process only takes a few seconds but even that is too tedious.
