I saw this topic but seems the most recent is still a year old. I tried everything mentioned yet when I’m in design mode and show presentation then copy the link and try it ina browser I;m not logged into, I sitll see the force account gate. I tried this on both desktop app and browser. No dice. Please advise.

Is this file associated with an organizational account? If so, it might have permissions set not to allow public viewing on prototypes.

Thanks for responding. I have a prfoessional plan where I created a few teams using free team but the file in question is a project within my paid plan within a team. Is there a place I can manage global share settings at the account, team, or project level?

On you prototype file, click on "Share prototype" at the top right corner and then under the section "Who has access", change the settings to "Anyone".

Please view this video to see. I don’t see the “Anyone” option -

Please view this additional video to see a battery of tests where an older file worked within a free team and when I created a new file and one a different project same team I copied and pasted the primary file in question, it did not work.

 On the folder/team project view, you can right-click on the file and then there is a "Share" option, can you take a look at that and check if there sharing options diverge between these 2 files?

Thanks for sharing. That is for sure something strange. The support team will understand better what is going on because they can access your files.
