<p dir="auto">That doesn't work, but the link from the clipboard+left-arrow button in the web interface does work.</p>
<p dir="auto">Odd isn't it!</p>

<p dir="auto">It seems sending by email is different.</p>

<p dir="auto">Was the file perhaps created somewhere else with different permissions or something?</p>
<p dir="auto">I wonder what would happen if you created a share link for that specific doc?</p>

<p dir="auto">Actually, the issue I've had is with .xlsx files, if you can add one of those to test please?</p>
<p dir="auto">Yup, have set "Allow upload and editing" on the folder shared via an email link. That's what made it seem so odd.</p>
