Box: Share a File or Folder Shortcut Link

Shared links can be used to quickly get a collaborator directly to a shared file or folder. Only users who have been invited as collaborators to a folder are able to get to files in that folder via Shared Link in the University's version of Box Secure Storage.

Note: Collaborators already have access to this content, but shared links can easily direct a user to a specific file or folder.
