What is the most efficient method to stop users deleting folders?
It seems there is no direct permission which can be applied for this.
Folder Locking available via API seems to be a possibility.

Hey 👋
Do you mean like folders they own? Or like shared group folders? The best option is collaborate a user in as a type that cannot delete the folder. In order to use the folder lock - you would need to be the folder owner or co-owner.

Hi,
After asking this question as a support ticket a while ago it is via an API. The setup they said to use was rather complicated! In the end I installed Postman loaded the API’s into that and ran the command to lock a folder from deletion or being moved. This was the only way I could do it as people still needed edit access to the content and it was under some sub folders so I couldn’t change permissions due to the waterfall approach Box uses.
