Hi Jane, we are having exactly the same issue as the user above with the same error message. Tried all the things, no deal. We can still access our folders directly, but cannot click through via notifications which is a major headache for tracking new uploads and comments! If you can help us too that would be great! Thank you.

Hello.
I have the same problem when I try to click a shared mail-link from my customer, to get access to their business-data. So I can´t start working on this project. Of cause I have also done all the tests with delete-cookies, browser-restart, notebook-restart, check other browsers (edge, chrome) ... but nothing works.
Please help me.
Warmly, Christian
