richiereel Do you know what kind of device this is? I don't recognize the interface in the screen. Is it possible the device doesn't allow downloads? The second looks potentially like you've given them access to them at a certain email but they're logged in to a different one? It would help to know how you usually share—on web, desktop, or mobile, and do you copy/share a link, add people, share by email, etc.?
