The link generated using the "Share for review" option in Ai is not opening in any browser. This is happening for random files, and sometimes happens to files that previously had a working link. The error page is attached below.
The files that show this error, show the same error even when I try generating a new link from a different PC using a different network.
This issue is happening to 3 of us users, 2 using the same adobe account, and one using a whole different account from a different country.
I have tried all the usual fixes like restarting, re-installing the application, i have also tried downgrading to different versions of illustrator.
The only thing i found is that, in one such file which is unable to generate a link preview, the design contains a vector element, which when removed from the design (or even just placed outside the artboard), makes the link work again. that particular vector makes working links when placed in a separate file, but is only causing a problem (if it is the problem) when placed in the full design.
this would mean that all files having the problem with links are due to certain elements used in the design.
even if i were to find the problematic element in each of the designs, i cannot remove it from the design as ofcourse, it is part of the design.
PLEASE HELP.

This is the link: https://assets.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:AP:d7a24a02-68b2-4953-86b2-2d9572324d71?view=published
This the screenshot of the vector in the design, without which the link works.
If i add that vector on to a separate artboard (2) and create a link for only artboard 2, the link works again for just artboard 2. But if i create a link for both pages, with the vector on separate artboard, again, link does not work.
The vector shape just seems to be causing a problem when it is present together with the rest of the design.
So i am not too sure if the vector element is really corrupted.
The link does not open for anyone at all. also, when i share the package file with someone else to create a link from their PC, the same problem persists.
Also, this is a problem with many, many of our design files, which ofcourse have all different elements used.
Hi @Nabil-IshraQ,
Thank you for providing the link and screenshots. I was able to open the link without encountering any errors. However, it's concerning that the issue persists for you and other users despite trying various troubleshooting steps.
Since the link does not open for anyone and the problem persists across different computers and accounts, it suggests that the issue might be related to the specific files themselves rather than individual setups.
To investigate this issue further, it would be helpful if you could share additional links for problematic files, if available. Additionally, please ensure that your browser cookies & cache are cleared and your browser is updated to the latest version, as this can sometimes resolve unexpected behavior with online services.
If you have any other observations or questions, please feel free to share them. We're here to assist you as best as we can.
Best regards,
