Transfer files from a shared Box link to another Box folder

Is there a way to move shared files from a Box link to another Box folder?

Currently I am downloading the files from a Box link to my desktop, then re-uploading them to Box. I don't not see any option other than 'Download' in the menu for any files in the Box links that are sent to me. 

I'm hoping there is a way to simply move them from the Box link to a folder in my Box account in a more direct way.  Many of these files are larger and my upload speeds are not great.

Thanks

    Hi Kevin, 

    Welcome to the Box Community!

    To answer your question, no, there is no option to move files shared from a Shared link into your folders in Box.

    You will need to manually download the files in a Shared link and then upload them to your folders.

    Thanks for your participation in the forum!

    Best,

    Someone gave me a link to upload files to. I created an account but I don't see an upload option to their Box. I only see download options. Am I missing something?
