    Hi Billy,

    Welcome to the Box Community!

    Have you tried to copy the link into your desktop web browser?

    If clicking the "Go to full site" option brings you to your "All files" page in Box.com, try to go to your accounts "Recents" and you should be able to find files shared to you in that section.

    Thanks for the reply. I am using a desktop web browser and the link is only a share link, not directly or specifically shared to me. It doesn't show up in my "Recents" even when I've logged in already.

    Hi Billy, 

    The Shared link may have been restricted only to certain group of users if it's not accessible to you.

    I would recommend reaching out the person who sent you this link and request to the owner if they can grant you access or modify the link access to a less restrictive one. For details on different types Shared link access, please check out this article: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043697094-Creating-Shared-Links

    I don’t think you understood my question. I have access to the mobile site, albeit it’s view-only. I think if I have permission to view the shared link on a mobile site then I should have permission to view the link on desktop as well.

    My question is how to see the shared content on a desktop site instead of a mobile site when using a desktop browser.
