I am a Mac user and used aliases for the Box folders I use frequently. This just went away with the latest update 12/14/21. Our company has a BIG file tree and finding folders over and over again is a real pain! Please fix and support the Mac alias feature!

Does Alias not work on Box Drive? It seems to...but if not I would really like to know. Thanks.
