"Anyone with link" permission not working, sending email to give permission.
A file I uploaded and set permissions to anyone with link isn't giving access, I have to grant permission through email, email says: xxx@gmail.com wants to access your file "xxx." Share this file with xx to let them view it. Why?

Hi Jovin, can you delete your current link, and then follow these steps, in order to create a new link through our website?
Let me know if this changes things at all.

Still can't figure out why I get emails to request access, I believe I had the link permissions set correct the first time, redid it using the share button set to anyone with link can view as suggested, tested link several ways, different browsers, private mode, incognito mode, etc. It looks like it is working on my end but still getting request access emails 😞
