Edited folder name is not reflected in download link
I just posted a folder with Wedding pictures in it. I had mistakenly misspelled the Brides name in the folder containing these images. I fixed the name but even afterwards when I check the link it is showing the old spelling. I even made new links but the old spelling persists. I do not want the recipients to see the misspelled name when they download these pictures. How do I get the copied download link to show the correct folder name?
This is a shared link.
I finally got around the issue by creating a new folder and moving the files into the new folder, therefore, creating a new shared link file.
I believe that perhaps the name of the folder is somehow hard wired when the shared link is created and therefore changing the folder name afterwards has no affect.
Thanks.
