Preventing folders from being moved

Preventing folders from being moved

David G.14
New member | Level 2

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.

This is still a major issue and it’s causing our company to consider Box.com

Do yourself a favor and just go to O365 SharePoint/OneDrive.  For $5/month you get your email hosted, 1 TB cloud storage per user and 1 TB company-wide storage accessable storage.  You can add your personal and company cloud drives to your Explorer window.  It is a way better solution than Dropbox, Google or any other product I have seen.
