r7000 router: email sent after shared file accessed gives my IP address

Hi, Searched but couldn't find any relevant posts. Apologies if I failed there.

I have used the readycloud file sharing for a few years now. Initially I used to get the standard emails that the file has been accessed and it would correctly give the IP address of the recipient. Of late, the email sent out to me, for all accesses, gives my IP address !

eg. Your shared file blah-blah.blah was accessed by someone in United States using IP address "my ip address". This for all access to the shared file.

Any advice how to fix this so as to show the IP address of the person downloading the link ? Seems a bit pointless giving my IP address for everything.

Thanks
