Create Shortcuts to Other Folders within Box
We would love to be able to create shortcuts to other related files within files in Box on the web. For an example, in windows file explorer, you can create a shortcut from someone's individual file and someone's business file.

When you are part of a large organization (University) that uses box to store 100 of team projects folders which leads to 1000s of directories, it would be really, REALLY nice to be able to click on a "shortcut" or alias to get to another /filefolder. The feature can't be that hard to implement - an icon with a clickable URL (at least for the web interface). On the next level would be on the box sync where a link would get "translated" to a relative path to file/folder directory. And to make it smarter, if the the box sync app knew the file wasn't there, it would convert to a link openable in a web browser (or pop up a note that the file is not synced and give further options of going online, requesting access, temporarily downloading etc.
