We are currenly re-organising our Box folders. I have a question regarding shared links.

If a file with a shared link is currently in folder A, and I would move this file to folder B, what will happen with the shared link I shared with others. Does this still work or do I need to share a new link? In other words, is a shared link, linked to a file or to it's location?

Hi Conny, 

Welcome to the Box Community!

Moving a file into another folder directory does not break the original shared link. The only time the link changes is if you remove the link and re-enable it back.

To learn more about Shared links, please take a look at this article: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043697094-Creating-Shared-Links 

Thanks for your participation in the forum and let us know how else we can help!

Best,
