Some variety of Option 2 is best, but for Option 1, it would be easy to implement a control in the All Files view:
- Hide items shared with me
- Show only items shared with me
- Show everything

This is 2023 and why don't we have this functionality yet?
Having a chaotic root directory is idiotic as it is almost impossible to find the directory we need.

I would like to suggest a mixture of Options 1 and 2; i.e., all of the shared folders are located in "Share With Me" and end users can manually organize the folders within that folder.
I believe having "Share With Me" is a good idea for clarity as well as the point of view from security. Still, we definitely need the ability to organize shared folders for productivity.

Option 2!

Option 2 would be best in my opinion. This has already been implemented by Box's competitors, including Google Drive.

This would make it much easier to find items because I can organize them myself. Right now, my root folder is a mess of files shared by other people that I cannot organize. This list will only grow longer as my account continues to receive more shared documents from colleagues.

I like Option 2 best, since it allows for more control over folder organization. However, Option 1 would still be an improvement from the current system.

I prefer Option 2, but Option 1 would be way better than what you have now.

Option 2 PLEASE!
- Allow end users to manually move folders shared with them into a folder structure of their own design. For example I may create folders such as "Shared from Jim", "Shared from Carol", or "Shared by Andrew"

Option 2 would be excellent (allow users to organize shared folders however they please). I would settle for Option 1 (a "Shared with Me" folder in the root directory that contains shared folders).

I agree with others that this feature is way overdue. Box is a really good tool EXCEPT for the lack of this feature. My root folder is a total mess because I can't currently move or organize folders that are shared with me.

As a result, Box is not currently a product I can recommend to colleagues until some version of this feature is implemented. Thanks for moving it forward.

Option 2 please

Option 2 is needed to be competitive with Dropbox. It's the only reason that I am still using Dropbox and hardly use Box at all, even though the latter is free through my institution. I would gladly pay a premium for this feature.

Simply a switch that'd display what is shared and what I own. Otherwise, store all shared content into a "shared with me" folder, but please do something. I heard it was one feature to be available several months ago.

I'd vote for option 2, though option 1 would already be a big step forward.

Get these collaboration folders out of my root folder. Fire all your UI designers. this is an idiotic way of organizing files (aka absolutely no organization)

Option 2 please!!

How is this not created yet. This is a terrible problem for BOX users when the whole intention is organization and sharing.

I'd like a way to organize the folders that are shared with me. My root folder is getting filled up and makes it hard to find my own files.

This is such a core feature that is needed. It's beginning to be extremely frustrating being in an organisation where BOX is the only storage option, and hence there is a lot of sharing of folders.

Simply dumping them in the root folder is not a way to organise our files, and it's ridiculous that this as been a roadmap item for a year, let alone was an idea from Feb 2017...

Agree with the comments below -- would love an update or estimated timeline for this feature, especially Option 2. After starting with a company that uses Box instead of Google Drive, this is a feature that I am missing. My root folder is getting very cluttered with shared files and folders from others which I am not able to organize within my own file directory. Thank you!

I vote for Option 2!!! My root folder is overflowing with random files and folders shared with me by other employees, which I can't reorganize because I don't have permissions/access to the parent folders.

Another vote for Option 2, please. Its quite frustrating that my root folder, which I've spent time intentionally organizing, is getting filled up with folders from other collaborators. Please and thank you!
