I need to remove a collaborator from a folder. Will the collaborator be notified about being removed?

Hi Lori, 

Welcome to the Box Community, I'm happy to help!

When you remove a collaborator on the shared content, the user will not be notified. The removed user will no longer be able to see the previously shared content on his/her Box account.

Take a look at this article on how to remove a collaborator from a collaborative item in Box: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044196273-Managing-Collaborators#removecollab

Thanks for reaching out and let us know how else we can help!

Hi France,

I have a couple of follow-up questions. Does this apply to all collaborator types, including co-owner?

Also, if the person is the owner of a folder, do they have to initiate the change of ownership or is there a way for an admin to change it?  And again with this method, is there a notification?  

Thanks for your help!
