Box needs symlink support to solve this fairly standard problem that likely happens in every company.

Let's say you manage a team, and you have a team folder and a team structure for how you like to organize and store your files. Inside of that folder are meeting notes, projects, architecture documents, demo recordings, Hiring/Interview Documents and more.

The problem is, eventually the...

• HR team grows and wants to standardize on everyone's interview documents, hiring panels, and more, so they tell you where to put these sorts of files.
• Architecture team grows, and they now want all architecture-related files and documents in a certain structure
• So on and so forth.

Now as a team, you can't store your files in the structure / organization that you want, and your files are now scattered into a bunch of other structures that you don't own. The closest "solution" is collections, but that's basically just a bookmark link for a single person. It's not good enough.

What should happen, is either the Architecture/HR/Other teams make symlinks into your folder structures, or the reverse so that all groups of people can organize content in their own desired way.

This is a core feature of content organization and Box needs to support it.
