How do I move collaborative folder
I have some collaborative folder which was shared by my colleague and all of those are shown in my root.
I would like to move these somewhere else since it is very annoying that all collaborative folders are automatically added to the root, however, I would also not want to lose permission to access them.
Is there any way to do this? or should I accept what it is?

Hi Mahiro,
Welcome to the Box Community!
At present, if you are not the owner of a folder, you cannot move it to another location or another folder.
This idea has been shared to our Product Team in Box Pulse-our feedback site, where users would like the ability to have a "Shared with me- Folder Management for Collaboration Folders". The suggestion is currently 'Under consideration' but you may also add your vote and share your use case on the comment section on how this will be useful for you and your organization.Our product managers review these requests and take them into consideration for future product development. -
My folders were organized prior to the latest box update. After the update it seems all my shared folders have moved out to the folders that they were in previously in the root directory. It is extremely frustrating to have this happen!!! The updates are forced on us and now without any warning, my root directory is a mess and there are so many folders in there. Where as before i had order to the chaos, now there is no order and there is lots of chaos that does not allow me to fix.

To be honest, it sounds stupid that Box users cannot move the shared folders. I am the owner of my own account, and of course, I should have the right to determine where the shared folder should be. My point is that, if I put the shared folder to be under some non-shared folder, the sharing group does not increase, and then there should be no problem at all!
I don't understand why Box refuses to offer this simple function to users or customers. My root folder is just exploding in that way! Come on!

While you can't move the folders, you can create shortcuts to them in other locations, so that they can be accessible from some sort of organized hierarchy. If you put the shortcut where you want it and then make the original folders hidden, it can tidy up your root directory and give you some level of organization. It's frustrating to have to do this, but it definitely helps to tidy things up.

I understand to date what the options and will also vote, but vocalizing here out of frustration. I currently have 124 folders in my root - it's nearly impossible to find anything - and keep being added to more and more box folders. My favorite of which is when someone adds me to a box folder titled with my name.

Box, please do something about this. To help mitigate the disorganization of shared files and folders in the root, users need a way to move shared files and folders out of the root folder, without having to end the collaboration. Shared files and folders can be added to Collections, but they still appear in the Box root directory, so Collections as it works now isn't a solution. Collections would work if the shared files and folders added to a collection were hidden in the Box root, but I don't want to have to add every shared file and folder to a Collection. Shared files and folders should be automatically added to a "Shared with me" collection and left out of the root folder view.
