    Why can I not open files in a folder that is shared with me?


    I have a folder that is shared with me. I work out of this folder often. For some reason I am no longer able to open a lot of the files. I can open some, but not all.The ones that I cannot open have a small tan box beside the file name.I have had the account that shares this folder with me share it again, but I still have the same results.What do I need to do to be able to open the files with the little tan box?Thank you!!

    :)
