Get Rid of Waterfall Permissions - Allow Subfolder Security To Be Set Differently
It is absolutely ridiculous that a company as large as Box is using waterfall permissions for all enterprise accounts.
In a business environment, it is absolutely necessary to be able to set specific permissions on subfolders within a large data folder that all users have access to. This is a simple feature included with every other cloud file provider we've ever used.
Needs to be included ASAP.

Hi, I am a Product Manager for Box's File System, I am looking for real world examples from your business needs where the waterfall permissions doesnt work. The more elaborate the example is the better it will be. Would you be willing to share?

I agree, moreover, I suggest that there is a middle ground as well that would allow changes to permissions at these lower levels with warnings / guidance, and security audit features.

I completely share your frustration. It's baffling that a company of Box's size and stature would still be relying on such an outdated approach like waterfall permissions. In today's dynamic business landscape, the ability to fine-tune permissions at the subfolder level is not just a luxury but a necessity. It's an industry-standard feature that fosters efficient collaboration and ensures that sensitive information remains secure. Box should definitely take heed of these concerns and prioritize the implementation of more flexible and granular permission controls to better serve their enterprise clients.
