Hi guys

so is there anyway i can lock the folders from moving here and there while the other members can access it and edit it and all except for moving
Hello there @HELPHELPHELP1, thanks for checking in with us.
Although you can lock a file or a folder from being moved, that would also prevent users from editing it.
I understand though that you'd simply want to lock an item into place.
For this reason, you can have a look at this thread where other users have also expressed a similar interest.
There, you can upvote the idea and comment alongside other like-minded users.
I hope this helps to some extent.
