Hi MotivatedMover, let's jump right into this! 

 

Based on what you described, it seems you're sharing a shared link, not a shared folder, right? 

 

Are they using the same link that you're using, and it's working for you but not them? If so, I'd try clearing the browser's cache/browsing history and trying again, or try another browser.

 

Also, are you the owner of the content? And have you either removed the link or deleted the file?

 

Keep me posted!

    Thanks for your reply Megan!

     

    I am sharing a shared folder not a link, I am the admin for the shared folder, the persons I am sharing the folder with have access to the folder, however when they open the folder the error message "Can't Display Link/The Link does not exist" comes up. Please advise what to do.

      Hey MotivatedMover, hope it’s OK to jump in. 

       

      Do you mind sharing a screenshot of the error they see exactly on their end? 

       

      Have you shared any other folders with them, and if yes, do they see the same error when trying to access them?
