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?
