So, from what I understand, the issue only occurs when you’re downloading larger files via shared link. Is this right?
Besides the 22GB files that you previously mentioned, do you have any other shared links with files of a smaller size? If you do, can you clarify their size and whether you receive any type of errors, or if the download just randomly fails?
