    Hello,

    My fellow jotform users are getting a 404 Not found error after clicking document download links in the notification emails.

    We would like to be able to download directly from the emails, as the links suggest is possible, without visiting the website.

    What could be causing this? It works fine on my macbook but not their PC's.

    Thank you,

    Sunshine

    You have to uncheck the option to let others download files from your form.
