Alias files/ links to files
Oftentimes, a file has more than just one "right place" within a folder structure.
For example, if you have a folder for the HR-department and a folder for the legal-team, both teams need to access the subfolder "employment contracts".
On local Windows Explorer or Apple Finder it is possible to create alias-files that link to the "main-file", so you can access a file from multiple locations.
Such a feature is not available in Box. Since it is cruicial for files that needs to be accessed from different locations/ teams, I am asking you to implement this feature.
Thank you!

I am voting for this. I thinks it's a good RFE. I asked this question sometimes ago and believed it was removed due to GDPR or some other security measures.
However I think this can be implemented in a different fashion.Here's my thought.
- Allow to create a text file on box where can paste a box link on it.
- Then if you shift+click the file, it will bring you to the link.Not sure if that is simple, I think there maybe other ideas as well.
