google drive desktop not showing shared folders

When you create a shared link in Box you set it's access level ( people in this file/folder = any collaborator who already has access to the file, people in your company = anyone with a Box login in the organization of the owner of the file/folder, or people with the link = anyone at all).

While someone may send you a shared link, you don't actually share with a specific user in Box. Sharing is one-way and can be one-off or ephemeral. In Box there is a difference between sharing and collaboration.

First to the issue, then to your questions. Your question is understandable and it raises an issue that is often raised by new or infrequent Box users. So there are really two questions here: 1) where does one find any files shared with them on Box, and 2) where can someone find the answer to that question in the Box Help pages? This should be part of the basic 'how to' instructions for Box, not the answer to a question from someone who is unable to find them where they expect to. If as someone posted earlier they are collaborating with others on files all the time, where are they accessing those shared files from their logon screen? Much as I hated bringing up a competitor's product as an example, I assumed there would be something like the very obvious 'Shared with Me' choice on Google Drive, which immediately shows me every file or folder anyone has ever shared with me. Somewhat later I looked under Recent again and now it was there, but that's still not the answer. Eventually I clicked on the link just so I could look at the file, and that worked. I searched Help and the forums to no avail. My best guess from the few headings in the left column was under Recent, but it wasn't there (and of course if it wasn't recent, that probably wouldn't help much). The question is, if all those things are correct, where do I look when I first logon to Box to find any files that anyone has ever shared with me? A colleague sent me the link to a file this morning, so I just logged on to Box and figured I'd find it somehow. I understand all the parts about verifying the e-mail address and ensuring permissions haven't changed or the file removed, but that's not the basic question I'm trying to address (with no obvious topic in Help either). I came across this thread while trying to locate files that have been shared with me.
