I have been sent several shared folders that I need to download multiple things from. Unfortunately, the shared folders are very large with multiple subfolders, each with 50+ pages of content. 

How am I able to search for what I am looking for? I do not see a Search button when I am in these shared folders.

Hi there, 

Welcome to the Box Community! 

For me to check, may I please have a screenshot of what it looks like on your end? Here's how: 

For PC:

Press the ""Prt Scr"""" key.
Open the Microsoft Paint document and paste the image into the program.
Save this file and attach it to your reply.

For Mac:

Press the ""Command"" key, the ""Shift"" key and the number ""3"" key at the same time.
Attach the image file that appears on your desktop to your reply.

Looking forward in assisting you.

Hi was there ever an answer to this? We are experiencing the same issue.
It would be helpful to be able to search within link shared files the same as one would in a box folder they were an editor/owner of.
