Retrieving files

Hello, I am trying to view a files folder that was shared with me in 2014, that I forgot to save locally. Is there ant way of retrieving these as it says the link is "broken".   Thanks in Advan...

    Hi davidryan316 

     

    Unfortunately not unless you can contact the owner of the files and get a new link.

    Hi Mark,

     

    No problem, thought the folder may have been in a database somewhere accessible. Thanks
