Box Shuttle should allow Box as one of the source systems to migrate from
Currently, Box Shuttle standard tooling only supports migrations from OneDrive for Business, Dropbox for Business, and Google Drive as a part of Google Workspace. Box Shuttle should support Box as one of the source systems, so that Shuttle can be utilized for Box to Box migrations.
For example, consider this use case: a researcher is leaving institution A, and their research lives in institution A's Box instance. Their new institution, institution B, uses Box, and they need to get 10 years worth of research data from institution A to institution B's box instance, without having to download and reupload, or using a third party for privacy reasons.

I would like Box Shuttle to support migration to the same tenant.
There is a concern that if a large amount of data is moved at once in a Box, it will fail in the process due to LFO.
It is possible, but not certain, to reduce the risk of failure by dividing and moving the data, and this method is not practical for huge data volumes.If the move fails, I will need to contact support to unlock the folder.
Since moving data is so labor intensive, Box Shuttle must also support movement between the same tenants.

Box Shuttleで同一テナント内の移行もサポートしてほしいです。
Boxで大量データを一度に移動するとLFOにより途中で失敗する懸念点があります。
分割して移動することで失敗するリスクを減らすことは可能ですが確実ではなく、また膨大なデータ量の場合はこの方法は現実的ではありません。移動に失敗した場合、フォルダのロックを解除するにはサポートへ連絡する必要があります。
データの移動にとても手間がかかるため、Box Shuttleは同一テナント間の移動にも対応する必要があります。
