Request to increase item count per folder limit
We would like to be able to add more than 15,000 items per folder. We are working with multi-level folders structures within our environment and anticipate having more than 15,000 items within the first level of their subfolders.

We have an internal initiative to scale up this and several other metrics. And we have made significant progress in terms of the number of items that can be stored in a Folder. I am happy to report that our research have shown that our infrastructure can easily scale up to 1 Billion items in a single Folder.
Since this initiative is underway, we are in the process of understanding how such a scale impacts the usability of our first party applications that sits on top of our platform. However, accessing such large number of items on a single folder via our APIs should be straightforward.
Disclaimer: We are not yet committing that such scale limits will be available to all pricing tiers.

Inconvenient to re-architect a parent folder into multiple subfolders, and also it sometimes takes days, if not weeks, to move large folders that contain TB of data.

Today, a single folder in Box shouldn't contain more than 15,000 items. This doesn't include the contents of subfolders, just the number of immediate files or folders in a single folder.
My customer has 15k+ clients and each client requires their own folder. They would like this all to live in one place.
