Creating a Shared Link to a File in Box
In your browser, navigate to the file or folder in Box that you would like to share.
Select or hover over the item and three buttons should appear to the right of the row. Select the 
button.
A new menu will open and a shared link will be created. The link is also automatically copied to your clipboard.
Now that the link is copied, you are free to place it anywhere you like.
