Support for UNC paths in Box For Desktop
We require UNC paths instead of local paths to be supported by Box Drive. Today - we're leveraging WebDAV, which is less than ideal.

Enabling this function would be a great coup for Box as it opens the application up to Design & Engineering applications. Box has half of that battle won right now with unlimited space, quick uploads and automatic versioning. Simply enabling UNC paths will allow the D&E apps to write directly to Box Drive and make Box a desirable storage platform for those users.

if this capability is rejected/ not planned, then what is the best practice for emailing a link to a given file (within the company Box user 'domain')? Do you expect someone to attach a file, then save it to BOX again (either an overwrite, different version, or wrong location)?
Box needs to get into the 20th century and enable this feature.
