I copy box url and paste in email, then whole url shows up.
However some people add their url with box folder title only.
It looks more compact.
How can I share link with title only? or should I change my box set-up?
Question
How can share link with box folder title?
Hi Nayoon,
Welcome to Box Community and glad to help!
Looks like you're looking to customize your shared link URL.
When you create a shared link, you can customize its ending. This feature is intended to make content readily accessible to large groups of users, externally or internally, using a customized URL that is easy to remember.
The custom ending to the link must be between twelve and thirty characters, and can use letters, numbers, and hyphens.
Custom URLs are only available to Business and Enterprise accounts.
Important
If the shared link is available with People with the link scope, then the linked folder or file is publicly accessible. Custom URL is appropriate for public-facing materials such as product documentation or marketing materials, and is not intended for the secure sharing of sensitive content.
Notes
- Someone with a personal Box account can create additional custom links for any content owned by someone with a Business account, or above.
- If folders or files are moved from one Enterprise to another, custom URLs are lost. The associated shared links of the files and folders – those links with the longer scrambled characters – remain.
