I am not able to share a link on an "App" folder, why?

I am at my wits end!!!!! I have been sharing a link to an app folder for years. The folder identifies that a "shared link is available." Yet, I can't seem to get a link that my new bookkeeper can use...

    I dont actually think its ever been allowed actually - so it must have been a bug that allowed it to share in the first place.

Yes, that appears to be the issue. However, why does the page still say there is a link available and when was this changed? I've had that as a shared app for many years and don't recall receiving notification that it wouldn't work anymore. Frustrating time suck!
