Syncing bookmarks and Windows shortcuts between Box Drive and online.
To better organize my personal Box files and share with teams, I've saved my files in the team folder and used a Windows shortcut (in Box Drive) in my personal Box folder to link files/folders elsewhere on Box. Box Drive doesn't sync Window's shortcuts so these links are lost when working online. The workaround online is to use the bookmark function, using file/folder URLs to create shortcuts. It would be great if bookmarks or window's shortcuts synced between online and Box Drive modes. At the moment I'm having to bookmark online and shortcut on Drive to link up files and folders. This is double the work and if I delete my Cache, the short cuts on Box Drive will be lost. Is there a better approach or solution to this problem?

We will likely consider bookmark support in the future for Box Drive, but it’s not planned in the near-term.

Yet another vote for a shortcut feature -- we have different departments that have differing file structures that it would be helpful for them to all be able to point to the same doc without everyone needing to bookmark or save the file links individually

Another vote for the shortcut feature to appear on the Desktop app.

This is a standard feature on other file sharing platforms. Please put this on the roadmap for the immediate future. Launch a pole or something if you need data to make it a priority.

Please add this feature. Without it, it takes a long time for everyone in our company to keep files with multiple purposes up-to-date.

Please make shortcut links available in Box! It drastically reduces the usability of Box for more complex filing systems. It seems that with all the new features being added to Box, this would be a no-brainer.

What is the status of this request? We have over 200 users and most of them (if not all) would like this feature added immediately.

I cant believe this feature isn't available, especially for a cloud platform that is so widely used by teams. Please add this ASAP!

I can't believe Box would allow Microsoft SharePoint to out-do them on this feature. Time to get this improvement on the books and moving along.

I seriously hope Box reconsiders this idea and implements it. It's a real shame it is not being considered. The usefulness of shortcuts and their time savings would be substantial.

This is a basic feature. How long will you ignore this, Box?

Has this never been dealt with? This is extremely necessary!
How is it that when I tried box, I had the bookmarks in my windows explorer? Does the admin box account have the ability to see it in windows explorer, while no other user does? So frustrating! -

Please add this very standard feature. The response from nearly 4 years ago isn't satisfying at all.

This would be very helpful for our multi-language team. Where one person would work with files a folder in one language and another user would search for the same files in folder named in a different language.
It would eliminate the error of duplicated work. -

Shortcuts (the way it is done on Google Drive) are critical to document control and collaboration. I hope you will prioritize this feature in your product development.

It would be very helpful to organize and share the files with my team. -

Hi there, we were trying to implement Box with our IT structure. We looked down directly at this feature first, because it seems like the only valid way to start using Box step by step. Please reconsider this feature and make it happen.
