    Hey lostone, welcome to our Community! 

     

    Technically if the link has expired then, you need to create a new link to the file or folder. Did you extend the link, or set a new expiration date? 

     

    If you try to access your existing link using an incognito tab on your browser, are you able to see the content, or do you get any errors? 

     

    Keep me posted!
