Thanks for the report! This is a known issue when using these links in Internet Explorer, but I don't have a timeline for a fix to offer. It's possible it's a bug in Internet Explorer itself, since it doesn't occur in other browsers. I'll follow up here with any news on this.

        What if I create a shared link with settings and add an expiry on the link ?
