I tried this out. What I found was that when I was finished viewing the linked file and closed it, I was at the location of the linked file, rather than being returned to my starting point. Is there a fix for this?
Is there a way to get these bookmarks to work in the Box Sync Windows Explorer view rather than just through the web browser?
I am having this issue as well. It looks as though I would have to create a Bookmark in Box Online, and a Shortcut in the Windows File Explorer separately, effectively doubling the work, and making future changes rather cumbersome.
