I have been facing a problem since yesterday while downloading the attachments in the job descrition, when I click on the document attached to open, it says "Failed to download this file (code 403)".

Firstly I felt it is a specific post error but I am facing such a downloading problem for each and every attachment. Please suggest the solution immediately as there are many freelancers who are facing the same problem. Screenshot is attached as reference.

Now I face the problem for all client attachment files. I can't download and open the file. So I don't know what happened. Please help me how to solve the problem.

Thanks,
