I've been accessing the excel file that I shared with my colleagues for like 2 years, but I cannot open yesterday as when I click on shared link, it appears "sorry, an error has occurred". I've tried to open it multiple times, couldn't work and I've tried to open in different browsers. I don't have any backup files as this file is company record and it is important. Please help me to retrieve it.

Hello Vivian Ngo1.
Welcome to the Microsoft Community.
I'm sorry to hear that you're unable to access your shared files stored in OneDrive at this time, and I understand your frustration.
If your file is still stored in OneDrive and you just can't access it, then you don't need to worry about its security - there may be a factor that is preventing you from accessing it right now, but it's usually not a loss of data.
Can the colleagues you shared this document with open it normally? If they can access the document normally, then you can ask them to save the file before sharing it with you. If all the users who shared this file are unable to access it, then I kindly suggest you to send an email to OneDrive support team. Since no member of the Microsoft community has access to the OneDrive servers to help you locate your file, a specialist from the OneDrive team will be able to provide you with further assistance regarding this issue.
Thank you for your understanding and patience. I hope your problem is solved successfully.
Best Regards
Eliac | Microsoft Community Support Specialist
