Box Login Page Swallows Your Share Link? This JS Wizardry Extracts It, Rebuilds the URL, and Yeets It to Clipboard

Box users on Windows may encounter a redirect to the login page when attempting to access a shared file link, rather than being taken directly to the content. The login page URL often includes a query parameter containing the original destination. A JavaScript snippet has been developed to extract this destination URL, allowing users to quickly recover the shareable link. The script parses the query string, extracts the redirect_url parameter, and rebuilds the host name to point to the main Box domain. It then constructs the final URL and copies it to the clipboard. This solution provides a convenient way to obtain a share-ready URL from the Box login screen without manual decoding or editing. The script is particularly useful for users who need to send the link to someone or access it in a different environment. By leveraging URLSearchParams and JavaScript, the script streamlines the process, making it easier for Box users to share content efficiently.
