I left my company last month and me and other colleagues had a shared folder. I created a shared co-ownership with one of my colleagues, but still the folder has been removed after I left. Can anyone help me with this? I can give more private and specific details in follow-up.

Hi Andrés, 

Welcome to Box Community and glad to help! 

You will need to reach out to the current owner of those folders and get an invite. Being a Co-Owner doesn't mean you have full ownership to those folders. 

Meanwhile, to get a full understanding of collaboration permission levels, please visit this article. 

Hope it helps!

Hello Rona,

Thanks for your answer. What I mean is that I was the owner of the folder, then I created a co-ownership with another person. After I left, the folder has been removed for everyone, including the other co-owner. How can they regain access?
