What You Need to Know About Custom Shared URLs
Blog post from Box
Box emphasizes the importance of using its "Custom URL" sharing feature properly to prevent unintended access, clarifying that the feature is not a security vulnerability but should be used for non-sensitive, public content. The company explains that Custom URLs differ from the default secure Box shared links, which are more secure due to their randomly generated alphanumeric characters and additional security controls like password protection and expiration policies. For enterprises, enabling or disabling Custom URLs is optional, and Box advises against using them for sensitive information due to their easily discoverable nature. To enhance security and usability, Box is increasing the character requirement for Custom URLs, improving user education on safe usage, and simplifying the process for admins to disable the feature if necessary. These measures are intended to give IT admins more control and ensure users are aware of the risks associated with Custom URLs.
