    Hi VG, 

    Welcome to the Box Community!

    Looks like you are using a public Shared link to share your data or contents. When using a Shared link, you have the following access permissions to set from which to choose:

    • People with the link:  Anyone with the link can access the item and no Box account is required. For extra security, you can also set a password or expiration for the link, as well as restrict download and/or preview access for link viewers. Also known as the "Public" link.
      • Password-protected shared links are available to all paid Box User accounts.
    • People in your company:  Only people who: (1) are managed on a Box account (Starter and above); (2) have an email address that matches a domain registered with Box for the account that created the link, can access the link. For example, if acme.com is a registered domain on your account, all managed account members with an email address ending in acme.com can access this type of link. People who do not match a domain listed on your account cannot access the link, even if they are managed members on your account.
      • When accessing the link, collaborators must log in to Box to verify their identities. People in your company is disabled if you do not have a valid business domain registered with Box.
      • Collaborators in the folder can also access content if People in your company is selected.
    • Invited people only: Only people invited to the folder or file can access the content. Collaborators already have access to their content, but can easily direct one another to a specific file or folder using the shared link.

    If you want to limit the access to certain people, you can password-protect your link and only share the password to those people that need to have access to your data. You may also choose to limit the access to those you share your company email domain or only collaborators (invited people only).

    More information can be found in these articles on how to create and secure your Shared links:

    Shared Link Access

    Restrict who can access this folder via shared links.

    "ONLY COLABORATORS"
