drawio svgs not importing correctly

Question

I have attached the svg from drawio, the images show up fine in my browser(latest release of brave) but in adobe illustrator and indesign the images are missing. In illustrator it says that it cant find the linked files. I did some research and tried to change all the xlink:href's to href but then it just says logos not found. There isn't even the word logos in my file, but it is the name of the folder I put the svg in. When I put it in the same folder as my indd file it still doesn't work. Any help? Thanks, it's very urgent.

SVGs are not a... stable format. Trying to create them in one general class of app and use them in another frequently presents problems.

You say "linked files"... are you using web resources as internal components of the SVGs? So that it has to pull those elements every time it displays? I am not surprised Adobe apps have an issue with that. I would try to re-export them as self-contained, or bundled, or whatever Drawio calls it, if possible. I don't know of any other solution.
