Ok I click the link on Windows and it works. After I battle through a collection of Firefox warnings about the defective SSL security on the site and it's certificates.

I emailed the link given https://app.classeur.io/#%21/files/M7Uzd2WxRb8lk6spC8F5" to a link mint machine just to be sure, but I get exactly the same result on the Linux machine. The URL is not broken, simply encoded as it should be.
