Shared folder

Hello, we have a vendor who uploads new files daily into a shared folder. Its public so everyone can see it, but it requires you to download manually to access the folders. I would like to download the files daily and send them into another system for processsing. I tried to see the shared folder using zapier but it does not see it. Any suggestions on how to automate this process?

How do I get the highlighter icon usually appearing in the upper right corner to show up?

I was initially looking for a way to eliminate the “purplish” highlight showing up on some of the text in my Box Notes. The “fix” from support is to click on the highlighter icon in the upper right corner. Unfortunately, I do not see a highlighter icon in the upper right corner and can’t seem to find any option or preference to make it appear.

Tuesday Tips and Tricks: Box AI General Principles for Writing Good Prompts

 To maximize Box AI's effectiveness, craft clear and specific prompts. This helps communicate your intentions and improves Box AI's ability to generate content, answer questions, and provide recommendations. ✅ Be specific and clear: State your request or question clearly. Avoid ambiguity or overly broad queries. The more specific your prompt, the better the response. ✅ Provide context: Briefly explain the context of your request. This helps Box AI understand what you’re looking for and deliver a more relevant answer. ✅ Ask open-ended questions: Avoid yes/no questions and instead ask questions that encourage detailed responses. For example, “Can you explain the process of...” rather than “Is this possible?” ✅ Iterate and experiment: Revise your prompt if the initial response is not what you expected. You can rephrase or clarify your request to get a more accurate answer. ✅ Avoid biased language: Be mindful of the language you use to avoid any unintentional biases. Clear and neutral lang

Box Integration - Creating Shared links using VBA Excel

I have a question about box drive. I have a excel vba script that executes many tasks. In the end, this script creates folders in two different box directories. I want to link them by using a shortcut, that anybody with access to this two folder could access. Is that possible? Without me having to generate manually each link everytime?Example:Folder 1 (With the shortcut) : C:\Users\XMyuserX\Box\SharedFolder1\shortcut.lnkFolder 2 : C:\Users\XMyuserX\Box\SharedFolder2I found i way to do it using some windows toolkit for excel, but i want to make it accessible for anybody and my main issue it’s the part regarding “XMyuserX” because the user will change everytime.

Saving images to the background gallery in hubs for future use

Hello, Just wondering if anyone could share tips on saving background images in the Hubs Gallery for future use. I have downloaded an image, saved it, and have been able to use it on the Hub I am currently working on. However, I would like the image to be in the gallery for future Hubs and for my team (managed users) to use as they create their own. Any suggestions? Uploading does not save it in the gallery for future use as some instructions suggest. Is there a setting in the admin console I am missing? Thank you.
