Sharing files doesn't work for another person. It redirects them on the web.
Hello, I have a Mac the person I shared a file has Windows. When he tries opening shared files he can't, he says when he clicks of the file it has the web sign and doesn't open.

What type of files? Does he have a suitable program to open them?
PDF files. He has Windows, but he doesn't have issues opening shared files from other people, just mines.

Hey madman73, I hope you're doing well!
What steps did you follow on your end, in order to share the file with the other person?
I'm trying to identify if you used a shared link, shared the file directly or if you did it using a different method.
Also, when the person is re-directed to the web, what do they see there?
Let me know more!
