How do I specify who can read my Filelink uploaded file? (Box)
I have uploaded a jpg file to Box following your instructions but was surprized that I was not given an opportunity to choose which users can retrieve the stored jpg. The instructions in Box prior to actually uploading anything refer to choosing a "swap" recipient but no such option showed up in my registration and upload. Is that selection of who can read this jpg file no longer available in Box? Thanks, Ralph M. Deal, new to filelink and a frequent photo sharer.

how are box or any other provider going to know who people are. They do not need an account with that provider to see the mail. That is the whole purpose. Anyone with the URL can open it. But only those with the URL, their is no browse process. (security by obscurity)
Now before you start on about security, be aware that your jpg if attached to an email would drag all over the internet while it was getting delivered in plain text, still no password required and certainly no encryption.
