hey there, Is there anyway I can create a shortcut to a document that already exist in a different folder of the Box web app and I do not want to download and reuse it?.. vs just link to the new folder as shortcut so I have always most upto date document from folder A that I use very frequently. 

This is a very common feature in any ECM tool so was curious that I can use in Box as well.

Hi Bharat, 

Welcome to the Box Community!

You can save links of these folders/ files as a bookmark to easily access your files as well as the web-based content that you visit most often in Box Webapp. 

Check out our article on Creating Bookmarks for details: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043695534-Creating-Bookmarks

Thanks for your participation in the community!

Thank you France. In that case, would not the book mark marks and most visit documents will be only local to me (the person doing these things) and would be available for other folks. 

anyway, if it is not there as a feature then we can leave this thread there. Thanks.

Hi. I also need a 'shortcuts' feature for collaborative use. What's described in the initial suggestion/request already exists in other apps like Google Drive. We use it all the time-- many many use cases.
