Prompt for Folder Moves
Add a prompt when moving a folder to ensure a customer wants to perform the action before moving into a folder.

This is very problematic for users of Box Drive that receive not prompt or undo option. Users in web app get confirmation of move and can quickly select Undo, but preference would be to warn of move prior to the action. This is especially problematic for large folder that take an extended period of time to move and then to do it in reverse again after to fix the issue. Ideally, being able to isolate permissions at a more granular level related to Move would be helpful as well.

Moving one of your own Box folders into someone elses folder (where you are also an editor) does not require any confirmation. i.e. if you accidentally drag the folder (who hasn't done that in Windows Explorer at some point), the folder is moved. If this happens accidentally (as happened in one particular case), you expose the folder and its contents to all users with access to the new parent folder. Not great especially if that data is sensitive.
When reversing the process, i.e. moving that folder back out into your All files root, there is a very solid warning before you are allowed to perform the move.
So whilst there is enough protection moving a folder out of another folder, it is too easy for someone who is not a power user to accidentally move and expose what should be a secure folder.
