Error 404

Hey, I recently had a musician friend that lives a bit far away send me links in MP3 format through my Gmail 3 x of his songs and every single time I click on any of them, Google shows me Error 404 and I can't seem to figure out both why they'll not play or how I can get them to. I know they keep telling me go to Google Dashboard or settings, but I can't locate the problem. And of course, I can copy the links or urls but I can't get them to open anywhere else either. And they won't open in Chrome. My friend says they play fine through his Gmail, so can ANYONE PLEASE give me any insight into why this is happening? Thank you. (I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 running on Android 9 btw)

Probably he did not send you the links but just text or,if the files are stored on the cloud,he did not share them correctly. My suggestion is to repeat the whole process but this time giving you access to the files by sharing them with everyone with the link

Navigate to Chrome settings. First, launch the Chrome web browser.
Launch the privacy and security menu. Once you're on Chrome's settings page, scroll down the page until you see the "Privacy and security" section.
Set default settings.
Allow Gmail to open all links.

Regards,
Peter
