How to End Collaboration for Many Files

Hi Justin, 

Welcome to the Box Community!

If you wish to end collaboration on folders shared to you by other users, you may follow the steps in this article:

• How To End A Folder Collaboration

Thanks for your question and participation in the community!

This only ends collaboration for the specified folder/file...

I would like to highlight many folders and files and end collaboration.  Is that possible?

Hi I'd like to ask Justin's question again.  Is there a way to end collaboration on multiple files at the same time?  I have individual .jpg files that I would like to get out of my main folder.   Thanks

Can I ask Justin's question a third time?  It is very tedious when you have many dozens of files that have been shared with you, and you have to end collaboration one by one.

Hello,

Has there been any progress on the ability to end collaboration for multiple folders/files at one time? Thank you!

How can we escalate Box Support on this one?  This is a real problem and there hasn't been progress in 2 years.

Hello, I have the same problem here and wanted to up this. Box team please support and share the solution for the same. 

I have hundreds of folders that I need to end collaboration. It's impossible to do that one by one. Please help!

I found a temporary solution that may help someone who are in the same situation as me, but it doesn't solve the problem that was raised by Justin in the first palce. I downloaded Box Drive and I was able to select multiple folders and delete them; those foders were also deleted from Box on web after I deleted them in Box Drive. However, that only worked for folders, not individual documents. Hope this helps!

I opened a ticket on box pulse for this: https://pulse.box.com/forums/909778-help-shape-the-future-of-box/suggestions/45949588-end-collaboration-for-multiple-files

Adding my +1 (or +100 to this)..and have upvoted George's pulse entry as well for good measure.

Same here. Please make this an option!

This lack of a way to deal with folder permissions in bulk seems to be an issue which prevents Box from being a realistic enterprise solution.

I am in the same situation of needing to update folder permissions on thousands of folders and their contents.

Doing this one at a time for thousands of folders seems like wasteful time-suck.
