We would like to see Box Hubs have a separate shared link permission setting
Currently, Hub shared links can be allowed from “Enterprise Setting” > “Content & Sharing”, but with the current settings, if Hub shared links are disabled, general folder and file shared links will also be restricted, which is very inconvenient.
Therefore, please consider making the shared link setting of the Hub independent, and allow shared links to be allowed for each individual Hub.
【日本語】
現在Hubの共有リンクは、「管理コンソール」＞「コンテンツと共有」から許可できますが、現在の設定値ではHubの共有リンクを禁止すると、通常のフォルダとファイルの共有リンクにも制限がかかってしまい非常に不便です。
そのためHubの共有リンク設定を独立させ、Hub個別で共有リンクの許可を行えるよう検討をお願いします。

This suggestion is under consideration by the Product Team for future development, however, it is not on our roadmap. Please share additional feedback and use cases to help us understand the importance of this release.

My customer would like to restrict open/shared links to Hubs for security reasons. As a financial institution, they want to reduce the risk of external information leakage while making effective internal use of Hubs.
Even when a Hub is shared via an open link, we can use Box Shield classification labels to limit external users’ access to the underlying content. However, the callouts/speech bubbles and paragraph text authored on the Hub page can still be viewed. They want to avoid potential leakage if those callouts or paragraphs contain sensitive information.
For example, if Hubs offered a preset to restrict the scope of shared links (e.g., limit to users in the enterprise or invited users only), it would help mitigate this risk.
