Error 404 on a shared link

I keep getting a 404 error on a link shared by a co-worker. I was able to open it few hours ago - and now all of sudden it does not work anymore. Co-worker has neither deleted the link nor removed the shared link that the folder was associated with. Would kindly appreciate advice on potential steps I can take to try to solve this.

    Either the link expired or was removed, or the file was deleted. You need to contact the person that provided you with the link and ask them for a new one.
