    Hi Hosein, 

    Welcome to the Box Community, I'm happy to help!

    The feature you are inquiring is currently not supported in Box. Files and folders shared via Shared links can only be access through the link via web browser.

    I appreciate your feedback and would highly recommend that you send this directly to our Product Team through Box Pulse for possible consideration and implementation in the future. 

    Our product managers review these requests and take them into consideration for future product development.

    Thanks for your post and let us know how else we can help you.

    Sincerely,
