Moving Shared Files

Good afternoon. I wanted to find out if there is a way to organize Box folders/files that’s shared with you. When I try to move the folder or file shared into the project folder that the folder/file are associated with, I am unable to move it. I don't want to copy the shared file or folder to create a duplicate and I am trying to avoid my Box Drive getting overwhelmed with shared files.

    I have this same question.  I tried to create an archive folder for things I don't want to delete but need to move off my main page.  It seems as most of my folders include shared files, I'm not able to organize them in any substantive way.

    I would also like to move or at least mirror shared folders into my project folders. That way when a customer shares a folder with us, I can move it into a preexisting folder structure that is essential to our workflow.

    I also have the exact same question. Whenever I accept an invitation for a shared folder it ends up in the top directory in Box, and it seems I cannot move the folder anywhere else. This is a major drawback, since the top directory quickly gets crowded with folders.
