Shared link to open file directly in Box Drive
Instead of opening in Web App, we should click a shared link to open in Drive.

This is something we’re considering for the longer term roadmap, but not something we’re exploring in the near-term unless there’s more demand.

This would be extremely helpful. We have just rolled out Box to 1,000 people who predominantly use Box Drive - I've been asked for this many times!

Having this feature would save a lot of hassle and confusion from opening up the link in a browser first and then having to search for it in Box Drive later on.

Sometimes it's confusing to know exactly where a link takes you in a browser without then opening the tree and find out where you are at. Opening in the Finder (Mac) would allow you to browse more like a server and make ease of access if you want to open another tab should you need to work in multiple places at the same time (which I happen to do all day long).

Please add this. Not sure how long longer term roadmap is, but I believe there is a strong demand for such a feature, in my firm and others.

It would be great if I could open a Box web folder link in my Box desktop app.

We want to open a file from a shared link received via email, etc. directly via Box Drive without going through a browser.

I agree, "Yes, now that I've switched to mostly using Box Drive, when I receive a shared Box link from a colleague, I'd like it to open in Box Drive, not in Box web portal. Thanks."

Maybe the reason there isn't more demand is that this is a blocker. At least it is for two folks in my team. They'd rather I send them big PPTs by email rather than them having to scroll and scroll through different hierarchies to find the file.

I feel this would help as with Box Drive being so spectacular it would give people more of a reason to use it since they would be going straight to their finder/windows explorer to find the files.
