On mobile, it prompts you to either “get the app” or “open app” with no way to click past. Screenshot won’t upload.

This is worse from several months ago https://lemmy.today/post/8935690

    Shared from a paid account or from a free account?

    If shared from paid account, then tomorrow I’m going to cancel our company account as this is unacceptable, we use that for sharing files in emails (we tried to use a self hosted nextcloud but customers are too dumb to figure out how to press the download button)

      Paid. There may have been something that affected it but we don’t know what. Can you do your own tests and report back?

        Both on mobile and desktop there’s a “login wall” but it can be dismissed by pressing on the X.

        Still, it’s a dark pattern that I don’t like, tomorrow at work we will discuss alternatives as we subscribed (one single account shared between everyone) just for sending attachments with filelink using thunderbird - and with a “login wall” it no longer fits the purpose

    That’s pretty scummy. It doesn’t require login on desktop view.

    Two workarounds:

    1. enable desktop view, then you can close the login prompt and zoom way in to find the actual download button
    2. easier, change dl=0 to dl=1 at the end of the URL and it will bypass all of that and download directly.
