    Hey Hennecent evan, thanks for posting your query to our Community.

     

    When you say that the link is blocked, can you give me some more info about this?

     

    Indeed, if the person that sent you the link, deletes/moves the file from their account, the link will break and you won't be able to access the files there anymore.

     

    I hope this clarifies!
