Hi everyone, We’ve explored options to be able to prevent any user (even co-owners) from accidentally Moving or Deleting certain critical root folders within Box. Right now the only option I have found is to use the Folder Lock endpoint via the Box API, however this is not very accessible to non-developers and we need our business users to be able to enable and remove these locks as needed. Has anyone found a way to manage these Folder Locks in a more user friendly way via the Box UI? Thanks!

Since it might be challenging to educate all users on using the Web UI, it could be easier to deploy only Box Drive. Would that work?

Hi there!I want to run a report to JUST see The owners and co-owners of folders in the Box and the people who have access to those folders and their respective permission levels, not individual documents. When I’ve run previous reports, they’ve been the  very large and unwieldy, making it difficult for someone else in my organization to view.I need an easier way to get a list of owners or permissions at the folder level in Box, without having to sift through a large number of records. What’s the best way to do this?

Could you share the steps for setting up a Hub in Box? Thank you - 

Hello Box Community - I have recently been apart of a team testing a Docusign integration into Box and we ran into a roadblock. When attempting to configure the integration, we wanted to connect the two platforms with a CoAdmin service account vs our Admin account. We noticed that even with the CoAdmin & Admin account had the same level of access/permissions, Box’s folder structure would not populate when attempting to make the connection on the Docusign side. We ended up manually entering the desired landing spot (ex. “Folder Name/Subfolder Name/Executed Document”) and the executed document routed to the correct folder. Has anyone else successfully integrated DocuSign & Box with a CoAdmin account, and if so, were you able to get Box’s folder structure to populate when creating an automated “action” on the Docusign side? Thank you!Chris 

I am using BOX for Salesforce, and I would like to use the default "Set Template Folder" flow to set up a template.By default, the flow is executed when a record is created, and BOX folders are created for records that do not require them, just like other records.I would like to change this so that the BOX folder is created when the "Create Folder" button is clicked, instead of when the record is created. How can I do this? I am new to using BOX and Salesforce, so I would appreciate it if you could provide detailed instructions.
