Hello All,

Last fall, Google decided to do a "Google Drive Wide" security update which has made virtually every link I've ever posted for downloading either files or folders "go bad."

You will likely get a message saying that the link is no longer valid and that a share request will be sent to me, and they are, but if I share with each individual, one at a time, that doesn't solve the core issue.

I am asking anyone who gets this message to please, please send me the link to the actual forums message where the link they clicked on is located. It's the only way I can slowly, but surely either update those messages or ask forums admin to do the same. I can fix the old links to work for individual files, but not for folders, and there are at least a few folders I've shared.

Mr. Gore, I have no idea if it's possible to do a "forums messages wide" update where an old link can be substitute with a new one anywhere it occurs, but if so, please let me know privately.

This is going to take ages to sort out over a great many sites.

Brian

Brian,

I will pass this on to our Administrator who will probably contact you direct regarding your request.
