Hi Xanthocletes, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

Could you clarify what type of files you're trying to share?

 

Do you have any other shared links or files on the account that could be triggering this message?

 

This will help me to assist further!

    These are large PDFs, up to 20-30 MB.

    And no, I just tried one of them and that was enough to trigger the error.
