We are trying to figure out how to link excel files in box drive. Even with files linked that are one person's desktop box file (so the path is the same every time), every time the file is opened it says it can't find the files and we are forced to relink.

What is the update on this?

Our team is going to assume Linkes files are not supported at this time, we will pause on migrating these specific files.

Could we please have an update here? Being unable to link files across the drive is creating a lot of unnecessary copy/paste and referencing work.

This is a show stopper for us.

I have the same issue. Has this been resolved?

Here’s mine in more detail.

We are using Box Drive and linking excel files. Sometimes the file links change from desktop C: reference to this weird api reference. Then the files no longer synch when another user opens it up. Is there a setting we need to enable in Excel?
