    Hi there, 

    Welcome to Box! 

    We'd like to introduce to you our premium feature, Direct links. It's when a collaborator clicks on the direct link, the file is downloaded onto his or her computer. A direct link is a web address (URL) that links directly to a file without using Box Preview. 

    Hope it helps! Let us know if you have questions, 

    Rona
