Get image src URLs from Box links

Hi,

I want to get image source URLs from public Box links such as this one.

https://app.box.com/s/65cxbwi6jprv1kc2dcpll0qd0cbec2zk/file/895721606173

The issue is, when I do it manually by right clicking on the image and selecting "Copy image address", the URL expires and the page no longer loads.

How do I get permanent image URLs that I could use in other applications?

Hi Kevin,

Welcome to the Box Community!

Are you perhaps looking to get the "Direct Link" for this file?

A direct link is a web address (URL) that links directly to a file without using Box Preview. This is different from a regular shared link, which brings users to the Box Preview screen for the shared file. Direct links is also a premium feature so its not available on free personal accounts.

To know more about Direct Links, please take a look at this article: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043697554-Configuring-Individual-Shared-Link-Settings

Hi France

Yes - that's what I'm looking for. I'm using a corporate account to use Box. Are you able to check for me if my account includes this premium feature? Is there a way for me to check this myself?

Upon checking, the account that I see linked to your profile is a personal free Box so this feature might not be accessible to you if try to get the direct link of a file you own.

Best,
