Hi there quenn. Let's see what we can do here. 

I've merged your post under this thread, which seems to echo your concern. 

Would you mind taking a look, and letting me know if you have any questions? 

Thanks!

    Hey Sadk, thanks for the nudge here.

    Have you tried opening the link from a different browser or to clear your browser's cache, to see if that helps?

    If you did and the issue persists, can you check with the person who sent you the link, to make sure that the file is still saved in their account?
