Hi megamunch, could you clarify what you mean by modifying the shared links? Are you referring to the permissions on the link, or something else?

Hi Jay 

Mentioned in my original post - "Whether an expiration date is needed, a password, or disabling downloads." 

You used to be able to update an existing link to change the permissions of it.

    Thanks for the info, in order to look into this matter in more detail, I'd recommend contacting the support team directly for them to investigate further.

      Mentioned in my original post that we have but are not receiving the best support through them, hence trying the forum avenue. Thanks.
