Choose location for folders shared with me?

Is it possible to choose the location where the folders shared with me are located?

I have folders for existing projects and when clients share files with me it would be helpful to nest then inside those folders.

    Hi CD M. - thanks for posting on our Community!
     

    I'm afraid this is not possible at this time, but you should be able to find all of your shared folders in the Sharing tab.

     

    That said, you should be able to re-arrange your folder structure as needed, but you should be careful with shared folders as there might be issues with permissions etc. 

     

    Let me know if that helps at all.

    To expand a bit on what Walter mentioned, you can move or rename any shared folder and the changes are only visible for you, not the other members.

     

    Just don't try to move a shared folder into another shared folder. You can't nest shared folders.
