I've been using Box for a while with a single company and its been pretty good.  They’ve used collaboration to share their folders and files with me.  Recently I’ve had a few more companies decide to use Box for the same thing.  The problem is now my root folder is a complete mess of files and folders from different companies.  I tried to clean it up by moving items to well named folders but it says that it’s not allowed.  How can I clean up this mess?

Hi Jean, 

Welcome to the Box Community!

What you are experiencing here on Collaborative folders is expected. At present, if you are not the owner of a folder, you cannot move it to another location or another folder.

This idea has been shared to our Product Team in Box Pulse-our feedback site, where users would like the ability to have a "Shared with me- Folder Management for Collaboration Folders". The suggestion is currently 'Under consideration' but you may also add your vote and share your use case on the comment section on how this will be useful for you and your organization.
 
Our product managers review these requests and take them into consideration for future product development.
 
Thanks for your participation in the Community!

Am having a major issue with Box Collaboration and it's privacy.

We've had 50+ random emails added into our box as 'Owners' and 'Co-Owners' without any permissions being granted.

Can someone in support PLEASE contact us, as this is becoming a major problem
