- Box Hubs is available in Enterprise plans and above.
As a Hub editor, you can easily add files, folders, and hyperlinks to the Hub. You can only add files or folders owned by your enterprise.
- When you add content to the Hub, the file or folder name is not changed.

In folder settings, you can set up folder restrictions to only allow admins, owners, and co-owners to invite collaborators. An admin can also check the Collab Restrictions field in the Admin Console.
Adding content
You can add files and folders to the Hub in three different ways: from a newly created Hub, from the All Files list, or from the file you are viewing.
You can only add files & folders which you are an owner, co-owner, or editor of.

After you create your Hub, a Files & Folders - Choose files or folders from Box picker appears under the description.
Now you can:
- drag and drop your content,
- click the files or folders from Box hyperlink in the picker
- a pop-up window Add Files to [your Hub name] appears where you can select one or more files or folders.
From the "All Files" list
