Please listen to your users and implement this. Colleagues regularly share folders with me relating to sub-strands of larger projects for which I have my own folder structures. Not being able to simply move folders that have been shared with me into my existing folder structures is incredibly annoying and means relevant information about projects are scattered around in various places - it's very messy. This was requested years ago and nothing has happened - why?

Option 2 please!!

Looks like this request is dead in the water given the last admin response was almost two years ago, but it is baffling to me how at least Option 1 has not been implemented in the eight years since it was requested. This is a problem that any sizable organization has with Box and I find it maddening.

How has this still not been implemented? Please, Box team -- we've been begging for this since 2017, if not before.

Please implement either option!!!

Please implement option 2 ASAP!

any updates?
This feature is absolutely necessary.

Option 2 should be standard.

Yes! This is absolutely necessary - my personal Box folders are very organized and it is very disruptive to my workflow that I can't categorize folders shared with me into structures that make more sense to me. I end up losing track of so much because the folders are so disorganized.

Option 2 is absolutely mandatory. This is very much a basic feature and without it Box is almost unusable.

Everyone that I work with hates Box for this very reason. This is a basic Must-Be Feature (Kano Model) and honestly it's wild that this is not a top priority.

Everyone I work with would rather use Dropbox or Google Drive (and does) for this exact reason whenever they have the opportunity.

This is absolutely needed. We frequently have problems that folders are accidentally dropped into shared folders because they are all disorganized at the top level. If the shared folder is owned by a collaborator, the accidentally moved folder often can't be retrieved without the collaborator's help.

Either would be an improvement, but preference to option 2.

Option 2.

I can't believe that this idea was proposed in 2017 but not implemented in 2024.

100% Option 2.

And why is this not a thing yet? There are posts complaining about this lack of functionality since at least 2020!

Most of my folders are shared with me, so whenever I have to use my company's Box, it takes me several minutes to find anything because everything is *so* unorganized. Please implement this soon.

I’ve been experiencing the same issue for years and it’s really frustrating.

This needed to happen like yesterday. My organization is having tremendous difficulty migrating from Google Drive because of this. We're so cross-functional that files become unwieldy.

100% Option 2.

Either option would be a dramatic improvement (especially if one uses Box Drive). Option 2 would be far superior in my opinion, though.

I don't know why this hasn't been addressed yet. I don't use Box unless I can't avoid it because of this. My root directory has more than 40 folders "shared with me" - most of which I need to be able to access but RARELY. I can't organize or rename. I'd love to switch out of Google Drive & Dropbox, since my university uses Box, but this issue significantly impedes my willingness to do so. This has been an issue since I first used Box circa 2017 - and there are MANY threads asking for it. They all send us here, to comment. So here I am, again, commenting. Option 2 is hands-down better. But Option 1 would address the issue sufficiently for me to make Box usable for my purposes.

July 2024 and still waiting for this option....
