MOVING / ORGANIZING SHARED FOLDERS
Dear Community,
I have a question about "shared folders".
If someone shares a folder with me and I join that folder, is it possible to move/rename other folders (sub-folders) within the shared folder into my folders without changing anything for the owner of the original folder? I have my own system and structure and would like to implement only parts (sub-folders) of the shared folder into my structure.
Would appreciate some help.
Thanks!
Best regards,

No. You can move or rename the shared folder that you were invited to, but any changes you make within the folder will be synced to all other members of that share. i.e. If you move a file or subfolder out of the share and into your own folder structure, that file or subfolder would be deleted for everyone else.

Thank you very much!
