    Hey there dave54. 
     
    If you’re getting a 404 error, it sounds like the shared link may have been either deleted by the sender, or the file/folder associated with the shared link was removed. 
     
    For this reason, I’d recommend checking back with the sender for more info on the matter. 
     
    Let me know if you have any other questions! :upside_down:

    Thanks for the swift reply, dave54. If the link was deleted, then a new one may be created instead. 
     
    If they are unable to create a shared link to the folder/file, I’d recommend contacting our Support team for a more in-depth investigation, due to account-specific info that may be required. 
     
    Let me know of any updates! :grinning:
