Sync Folder Deletion Behavior

  1. When deleting a Personal Folder locally on your machine in Box Sync, that folder is deleted on Box as well.
  2. If you delete a Collaborative Folder, you will receive a warning message that the folder will be deleted for all collaborators.  You can choose to delete the folder or you may un-sync the folder.
  3. When you un-sync a collaborated folder, you are only removing that folder from your machine.  It remains in the parent folder on Box and all other collaborators will continue to have access to that folder.  You must perform this action by logging into the web version of Box to use the un-sync option.
  4. When you delete a collaborated folder, that folder is permanently deleted from every collaborator's account

User Notifications

Users will receive a Box Update Notice whenever there is a change in behavior.  If you are already logged in, the Update Notice Window displays as soon as the auto update completes.  When you log in to Box Sync for the first time, you will see the Update Notice Window.

If you delete a collaborated folder, you will also receive a Box Sync pop up that confirms your intent to delete when other users are also collaborating in this folder. You can optionally check the Always delete collaborated folders check box to ensure that this pop-up does not appear for any future deletions.

You will be taken to a new screen where the files are located in Trash.  You can choose to Restore All or you can restore each individual file by clicking on the drop down arrow to the right of the folder name to choose Restore.
