I have a shared folder with MANY sub-folders within it.

Is there ANYWAY to allow end-users to search a shared link folder for folder names & file names without them having join/logging in?

Thanks, Tom

Hey Tom,

We won't have anything via shared links to be able to search content if they are not authenticated into Box and have been invited as a collaborator.

You could build a JWT app that uses our search endpoint and manages the whole process, but would require a bit of development work on your end. https://developer.box.com/docs/search-for-content

If you haven't already, you can also "vote" on existing feedback we've had on this. The more interest we have in features, the better we are able to prioritize certain requests: https://pulse.box.com/forums/909778-help-shape-the-future-of-box/suggestions/35983975-embed-allowing-search-capability-within-folder
