  Richard Lemmens I have a client who is trying to share a zip file with me from his ODFB site, and when he sends it to me as an external user, I have NO download links or options showing on the page at all. Conversely, when I share a file from my own ODFB at the same client, to my personal account as an external user, I DO see the download links. Why would one ODFB link look different from another when both are coming from the same client/tenant? This is maddening.
