Hey @Talorzalach, thanks for posting your question to our Community today.

 

If the content of a shared link has been deleted, or if the link has expired, it will give you an (404) error message.

 

If you wish to access that content, you'll need to reach out to the person who originally shared the link with you.

 

Let me know if you have any questions.

It's a business that shared with me the link and they no longer have the access to this link

Is there any other way to recover the link?

If the link is deleted, there's no way for it to be recovered, I'm afraid.

 

If they still have access to the files, they can definitely send you a new link, but the original cannot be restored.

No, sorry, you need to ask for whoever shared it to reshare it
