 I am currently encountering period of times when the PDF’s won’t load. When I attempt open a PDF the page just spins and spins but doesn’t load. I’ll try to download the file instead, but it says the download is going to take hours. I check my internet speed and it’s anywhere between 30-80Mps download speed. These periods of time last between 10-20 minutes which is a huge issue for me.

I have installed box tools, but when I select to open a pdf in my Adobe DC as an option, the error message says the file has failed to download because I am not the owner of the file, and to contact the owner for permission.

The other option which is just to open with Adobe gets blocked straight away, telling me I don't have permission to complete that task??
