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!

I can't believe this still doesn't exist. Just moved to an institution with Box and this is a huge flaw compared to Dropbox/Google/other organizational solutions.

Hello Is there any update on when this will be ready or in Beta for testing? As of May it was on the RoadMap, is there an ETA?
Thanks

Please implement this or give an update!

Please please implement this (option 2)!

There isn't much I can add to this discussion that hasn't already been said in the last 5 years since this feature request was made, but I have been using Box on a daily basis ever since my organization adopted in in 2014, so my root folder is littered with HUNDREDS of files and folders that have been shared with me over the last 8 years.

When I view my root on box.com, it is just a sea of blue shared folders, with a few sporadic folders I actually own scattered here and there. But I primarily use Box Drive, so there is no way to tell if a file or folder is one I own or if has been shared with me, And if I try to move or delete a file or folder from the root via Box Drive, it just reappears back in the root without warning, because, surprise, I'm not the owner.

Please, please, please, give us a way to organize items that are "Shared with Me."
