Hi, is there a way to get the full path of a shared box link instead of the shortened version which does not provide the folders / subfolders where the file or folder is located? 

Custom links work but there are limitations. 

We have folders under box which span several levels - it would be helpful to get the fully listed path in the shared link or have the option to share the fully listed path. 

Thank you.

I have the same issue.

If I have the following arborescence Customer/Customer1/Documents and Customer/Customer1/Reports and I want to share with partners or collaborators the folder called "Documents", they will see only written "Documents" in their Box account.

That's OK for the first "Documents" folder, but imagine you have the same subfolders for 10 different customers. It will be in their Box account written 10 times "Documents" instead of Customers/Customer1/Documents, Customers/Customer2/Documents, Customers/Customer3/Documents, etc.

Thant's a big issue to organize well folders and sharing. Could the full path be shared with partners/collaborators?
