Prevent the easy deletion of root level folders
We accidentally deleted a root level folder for millions of folders.
This may be done by locking the folder, where it could allow users to create/edit/delete the contents within the folder, but not allowing the locked folder itself to be rename/moved/deleted.
This may also help Box Sync (and possibly Box Drive) users, as many Box Sync users often delete the top level folders by accident.

This is a very large concern for us as well considering how often users accidentally drag one folder into another. I know there is an API to manually set locking a specific folder, but there is little visibility into this in the interface and is cumbersome for our team to implement and manage over time.
Can we at least notify the user for any root or 1st level folder that they are about to change a top level folder? They would need to confirm the change before it happens. We can then assign this by default for all users across all new folders that are created at the top two levels.

In order to prevent from such accidental disaster, please consider to develop a way to stop allowing anyone (including Box Admin) to easily delete "top level" folder.
