Agreed with all the commenters here. It is really frustrating to deal with this!

Option 2 please

One reason I still use Dropbox. I can move folders around, a folder is shared with me? Great. I can move it to that person's folder and organize my files.

In Box a folder is shared with me? I can't rename it, move it, it just clutters up my root folder and it can't be moved. Serious flaw and one major reason I hate using box.

What's five years between friends? This is long overdue.

I get by with having everything that isn't a collaborative folder inside a "!nonshared" directory, but the number of collaborative folders only grows and grows with time, and the inability to restructure and organize them - especially those I don't own and didn't create the names for - only gets more frustrating.

At this point, this should be considered a bug, not an enhancement request. Not being able to move folders out of the root directory is contradictory to a filing system.

This would be great. Another option would be to allow us to mark folders (ours or those shared with us) as 'Active' or 'Inactive' and sort the folders we aren't actively using (but still want access to) into a separate section - much like Outlook has the option for a 'Focused' or 'Other' inbox. That would allow me to control what files show up for me first in "All Files" at any given time, without compromising my access to other materials - and sometimes it's the files shared with me that I want top-of-list, not my own files.

For the love of god please.

2022 now

Good grief... this is the single most aggravating thing about Box and it's been "under consideration" for two years! Our org has been moving increasingly toward shared Box folders and now my root all-files location is a cluttered nightmare. HELP!!!

Seems like a must-have feature for any real organization tool, no? Box has many complex stuff built in (thanks for the great work!), but please allocate some resources for the must-have.

You know, DropBox has offered this requested feature for as long as I can remember...

Hopefully this comment is the straw that breaks the camel's back.

Box Product Team - BOX was an amazing tool when our company implemented it (still is) - but after many years' of use, my root "all files" location is so cluttered that I probably spend an extra 10-15 min a day looking for stuff as I have no ability to organize one-off content shared with me.

This may not sound like much - but it's 10-15 minutes EVERY DAY that I get frustrated looking for stuff....and the frustrated feeling doesn't just contain itself to the 15 minutes.

How is this still not implemented? Like the Anonymous user below stated, the original request is over 4 years old. Rather than Under Consideration, please update that this is either doable or has been discarded.

It is now almost 4 years since this suggestion was first posted, and the need is still there. Option 2 would be best, but Option 1 would work as well.

As it stands, "All Files" is very cluttered for me, since I have not only folders but individual files shared with me. "All Files" is a mash-up of deliberately-organized folders that I own and random folders/files shared with me by collaborators both within and outside my org.

Please fix this!

Option 2 please!!!

Option 2 would be great but even Option 1 would provide relief.

Please do this!

Option 2.

I should have the ability to decide WHERE the Shared With Me folder sits.

Box clutter is getting out of control because of the lack of this functionality.

Get this done already!
