Description

Hey,

im not sure why i cant find any information about this. But our workflow is this:

  • Within a team we use groupfolder.
  • Others can share folders and files specific. Within a project and so on.

Now i have a problem and i think this is not supported at the moment:
When i gets a folder shared with information that are good to for the hole team i normally would move this shared folder from my local account space to my teamfolder. Even when the shared folder can be reshared i cant sort this in. Errormessage: Cant be moved.

This is very useful if this information is e.g.

  • part of a own project or a good information on top.
  • everyone can track what happen inside this folder (good for manager)
