Expired public shared-link address

When using a public link to share a file, Box.com generates a URL with '/s/' in it, and an expiration date can be set for the link. However, once the link expires, even the file owner may have difficulty recalling the original file. Is there a way to recover the original link from the expired address? I know we cannot generate the same link again, but I want to access the original file myself as an owner.

    I agree this would be a great improvement to have.

    Hi there, 

    Welcome to Box Community and glad to help with your shared links query! 

    As for expired shared links, they are permanently off of our database and we can no longer collect or retrieve the same shared link URL in expense of locating the file/folder once attached to it. 

    Hope it answers your question, 

    Happy Weekend!
