I've been shared files by another user, who has provided me with a link to the location of the files, but when I click on it I'm told I do not have permission and I should contact Support. There doesn't seem to be a direct line to Support, so here I am. Any help would be useful. Thank you.

Hi Richard, 

Welcome to Box Community!

Here are some troubleshooting steps to try:

1. Make sure that the browser is up to date
2. Clear the browsing history or use a different browser
3. Temporary disable plugins/extensions, firewall, and VPN
4. Check if your Firewall is configured for Box apps 
5. Try to connect to a different network
6. Reach out to the owner of the link and request for a new shared link and make sure the link is set to "people with the link"
 
I trust that the above steps will do the trick. Let me know how it goes!
