Box Direct Link Generator Extension
Add-ons Extensions Internet Tools
As a blogger and tech enthusiast, I know the struggle of sharing cloud files in the fastest and cleanest way possible. That’s why I built the Box Direct Link Generator a simple yet powerful browser extension that turns Box.com share URLs into clean, direct download links in just one click.
Box is a popular cloud storage platform, but its shared links open in a preview mode. That’s frustrating when you just want users to download the file directly. Here's where this free tool comes in handy.
What is Box?
Box is a cloud-based content storage and file-sharing platform offering 10GB of free storage to new users. However, the shared links often redirect users to a preview interface instead of direct download, which isn’t ideal for bloggers, educators, developers, or clients.
Why You Need This Extension
Let’s say you're sharing compressed files, documents, or software setups the preview interface adds friction. With this tool, your users skip straight to the download, no clicks, no confusion. That’s professional file sharing, simplified.
Key Features
- One-click direct download link generation
- Copy generated direct link with one click
- Display file name, size, and type
- 100% private and secure (works locally)
- Easy to use interface for all users
