Hi I’m having an issue where my Design Explorer sets go from wonderful insightfull data to gibberish when I use the static link (long or short one doesnt matter)

Anyone had this before? It happens with every link of every set. Using Google Drive to upload the data from GH/Colibri and the first upload is always great. Its just the link thats giving me trouble and therefore I cant save and/or share my results.
