Hello,
Could you please help me ensure that Box collaborators are not able to see each other? Also, how can I schedule a walkthrough with Box support of how to add people / upload files / manage permissions?
Thank you!
Question
Box collaborator question and walkthrough request
Hi Miranda,
Welcome to Box Community and glad to help!
Owners and Co-Owners of folders have the ability to "hide collaborators". With this enabled, collaborators with "Editor" access and below will not be able to see the names of the other collaborators in the folder (Co-Owners will be able to see all collaborators in the folder). When hidden, the word "Someone" will replace their name whenever necessary to maintain anonymity.
Note
- In order to ensure the identities of non-owner collaborators are not revealed, please disable Comments in the Folder Settings in addition to enabling the “Hide Collaborators” setting.
- This feature currently does not anonymize any names shown in the Version History. The names of any non-owner collaborators who upload a new version will be visible to other collaborators in the file's Version history.
- With this settling enabled, collaborators are still able to utilize Tasks.
- With this setting enabled, collaborators in the affected folder cannot use Microsoft Office Online to open Office files in the folder.
To hide collaborators:
- Right-click the folder (or click the ellipsis (...)) to open the More Options menu.
- Click Settings to open Folder Settings.
- In the Privacy section, check the box next to Hide collaborators and their activity from non-owners.
Meanwhile, you can login to Box University and watch quick videos and self paced courses.
Hope it helps!
