I am an admin for a university. Despite our best intentions, users end up leaving us with important folders owned by them. Their supervisors turn in tickets asking Box Admins to reassign all of their folders to a new user. If there was some way, by looking at a user's list, to know which folders they owned (as opposed to which ones they had access to but were owned by other people). Often they are collaborating on 100 folders, but only owned 2-3. Currently the only way I know to figure this out is to open all 100 folders to see who the owner is. It would be awesome if folders they owned were one color, and the ones they don't own were another color. I think that would also be helpful for users to know which ones they own.
Hi Laurie,
Welcome to Box Community and glad to assist!
Please note that you can run the Folders and Files report to easily spot who owns the folders. Meanwhile, you can determine the folders by its icon and color.
Hope it helps!
It would still be amazing if we could have a third folder color:
Yellow - owned by me and not shared
Blue - owned by someone else and shared with me
Another color - owned by me and shared with someone else
