Unique Share Links Between Users
Hi! I have a question about share links to files and folders. Are share links to the same folder, generated by different users, unique? A coworker and I tried sharing links with each other and we noticed that sometimes links to the exact same folder would be different. Are links somehow tied to user? And if so, what happens if that user leaves the system?
They are tied to a user, yes. So if a user leaves the system (i.e. deletes account etc.) the links are also removed as well.

Thanks Mark! Is there any way to prepare a backup for if that happens? We have spreadsheets full of share links that I'm afraid might expire if whoever created them leaves.

No, that's not possible. You can backup your files, but there's no way to backup or preserve the links to those files should the creator of the link cancel their account.
