Moving files in BOX after a shared link has been created and sent out

If I have a file in a folder and create a download link for that file... then email it out... but then realize later that the file on BOX should actually be moved to a different folder, can I move this file within BOX and not have to recreate a link and send out a new email?  will that original link stay active and correctly point to the moved file in a different folder?

Thank you for your advice.

    Hi Justin, 

    Welcome to the Box Community!

    Moving a file into another folder directory does not break the original shared link. The only time the link changes is if you remove the link and re-enable it back.

    Thanks for your participation in the forum and let us know how else we can help!

    Best,

    What about if you are moving a folder between two different box accounts?
