Ability to see and access bookmarks in Box Drive
Bookmarks: I store a lot of bookmarks in Box. This bookmarks are not visible in the folder structure on my laptop (links seems not to be stored as files). As a consequence e.g. bookmark titles are only searchable via Box browser interface but not via Windows search functionality within explorer

We currently do not have this planned on our roadmap. Please keep the feedback & use cases coming to help us prioritize this in the future!

This feature is available on Google Drive. So technically Box drive can do this. Please implement this.

Creating a bookmark in BOX should create an alias in Box drive for MacOS
Creating an alias in Box drive for MacOS should create a bookmark in BOXThis is a basic requirement. When will this be available ?

Not having this option is painfully frustrating and seriously just doubled the amount of work I have to do, because having multiple copies of a file in different places is asking for disaster. Especially when I could easily link them to the most important one. Can we please get back to this one?

Onderive and Google Drive can handle this, why Box not? This would be a game changer

We need shortcuts from windows or mac to show up in Box.com and be transferrable across users or Box.com bookmarks to show up in Box Drive. It's incredibly inconvenient to have to manage one document in two places without being able to just link it to another folder.

The use-case for this is simple.
1. A box.com bookmark doesn't sync to the Box Drive so those users who only use Box Drive have no idea there is a bookmark in a particular folder.
2. A Windows shortcut or MacOS alias doesn't sync up to box.comWe need either the box.com bookmark to be available on desktop or the desktop shortcut/alias to be available on box.com, not two different solutions.

Box bookmark should be made available as alias in BoxDrive on a mac.
Please implement ASAP -

yes yes yes. Also, Bookmarks and collections should be shareable (viewable by other users). Currently there is no way to create reference libraries (that all users can use) that link to a bunch of files throughout the file system.
There is another service, we will not mention their name, that allows you to create shortcuts easily and in multiple ways that are useful on both the web view and file explorer view on one's computer. Super sad Box cant (wont?) get to this.

Definitely need this feature - big drawback of fully utilizing Box Drive.

This should be a core capability of Box. How is it that a cloud-based solution for storing files doesn't have the means for efficiently accessing files through references/links/bookmarks. I realize that capability is available through the web browser, however most users require the capability to navigate folder structures using built-in navigational tools such as Explorer/Finder.

At my company, we store everything in Box. I am part of the UX team but I'm also part of a Scrum team, so a lot of my work needs to be saved in 2 places (1 dedicated space for each team). I use bookmarks to ensure that when updates are made to documents, they don't need to be made in both places. I spend at least 95% of my time using Box Drive vs. the web app. So not being able to see bookmarks in Box Drive is a huge problem.

The inability to see bookmarks in Box Drive is a real problem.

Syncing browser box created Bookmarks aka "hyperlinks to box drive folders" to--->Box Drive is Crucial for box to stay competitive. Or even better just enable bottom-up syncing windows shortcuts created in box drive folder...(%userprofile% in shortcut...)
This issue is up there with workflow fails such as still having to archaically "right-click" lock file in box drive or you'll end up with conflicting multi user edits.

We handle a lot of bookmarks in our Box folders at our organization. It would be extremely useful to be able to access them from the Box Drive.

Please make bookmarks visible in box drive

For bookmarks to be useful it is imperative that they can be seen in Box Drive! Box Drive is now the primary way my staff engage with Box, but through this portal half the files appear to be missing (because the views / folders they see give access to the critical files they need through bookmarks!). This then makes Box Drive almost an unworkable solution.
We cannot run our large organization effectively in Box without bookmarks (access to the same file is needed in multiple locations), but without visibility in Box Drive this makes things really hard.
