Allow Marking Folders as "Move Locked" To Prevent Users From Moving Certain Folders Regardless Of Permissions
Our admins are constantly dealing with users who accidentally drag and drop folders into other folders. This can have a big impact across our org, especially when a high level folder that's shared across the company is moved. Here's a common use case:
We have a top level Projects folder. That folder contains a subfolder for every organization we do business with. Those Organization folders then contain subfolders for individual projects. We'd like to be able to mark the Organization level folders as Move Locked so that our users don't accidentally move folders from one Organization into another. This happens constantly in Box Drive.
The idea would be that an admin can mark a folder as Move Locked, and the folder would be identified with an icon letting users know that it's move locked. The only way to move it would be for an admin to unlock it first.

I also just experienced this exact problem. So I support and would appreciate this solution. Additionally, to simply have a warning to highlight that the folder being moved containers many thousands of files - it would at least trigger the person to think first. I note this feature is available in the web version, but not Box Drive.

My company runs into the exact same issue. Our lower level people still need to be able to edit, delete, and move items within the folder structure, but in order to grant them that level of access, they are also able to move the root level folder wherever. At one point our entire projects folder was unavailable for half a day during busy season while it was moved back and reshared by admin.
