My business group had an incident in which someone mistakenly deleted a folder in Box (as opposed to Box Relay). This person was not the owner of the folder. I had assumed that files and folder could be deleted only by the owner or co-owner. I looked through the Box help system, but couldn't find any articles addressing this topic. We are especially interested in learning how to protect folders and files from being deleted inadvertently. Can anyone out there shine a light on this topic? Much obliged for your help.
