Looking for a way, as admin to a shared folder which contains sub-folders, to keep other team members from accidentally moving those sub-folders. Part of it is education: novices do not grasp that by moving a folder to their desktop (for whatever reason) they are moving it out of DB and visibility to the rest of the team. This has occurred a few times, and as the team grows, it would be better if admin could lock a folder's POSITION. Probably would be a benefit to keep the folders from being renamed, but that is less likely to happen. Users should still be able to freely work with and move files as needed within the locked-position folders. Maybe there is a way to do this that I'm not aware of. Third party folder manager (those I reviewed are focused on encrypting, password protecting and/or hiding folders)? Any advice would be appreciated.
Agreed! This would be SOOOOO helpful. It's way to easy for entire folders to disappear in the manner you describe :(

Is there a solution to this question?
Does anyone have any answers to this ?
WE have the same problem a shared team fodler with sub folders that keep getting dragged and dropped into different locations.
Sanchez, any way of finding out if there is any further movement on this issue? We just had a user accidently move a top level folder into another and now a couple of hundred thousands files are re-syncing.
We have a similar issue in our organisation, with users often unknowingly dragging folders into other folders which causes huge frustration and wasted time finding the moved folders and fixing this up. It would be hugely beneficial for a specific folder tree structure to be locked down with admin rights. This issue has now resulted in us looking at alternate platforms as it is now seen as being a business risk.
Same issue here. Any solutions? Even temporary solutions would be appreciated - our top-level folders can have >50000 files, even with online-only it's a big issue to re-sync everyone's file when a folder is moved accidentally.
I found this article that might help some.
I haven't had a chance to apply it in a real life situation yet so don't know if it works or not.
