New Sharing Features For OneDrive and SharePoint

So by now we’ve had the chance to use the new UI for a while, and I must say that I like it. Also seems like our users are quicker to pick up what the options mean and it really helps with the consistency across all of the different endpoints. Couple of things though:

1. To me, the “Get link” button should either disappear or have its functionality changed. What it should do, is simply enable me to get the link to the file, if one had already been created via the Share button. Allow me to get any of the created links, if several has been created. But don’t create new ones, that should be done via “Share”. Getting an existing link would also mean being able to send it as a mail, of course.

2. The type of sharing called “People who already have access” should be replaced with the “Get link” functionality described above.

3. Very often, I want to send a link to a document that is opened from a SharePoint site that doesn’t allow me to create new links. At this point, I can’t use the “Share” button from inside the Office 365 ProPlus application. There should be a “Get link” button or something that allows me to get the existing link and send it.

4. When I use the “Mail” button from the “Share” dialog, it just inserts a simple text link into a mail. There is nothing I can do with that link. I can’t choose to attach the file directly or anything. Would be nice to have that fixed.

5. Would be great to be able so see in file explorer if files or folders are shared or not.

6. Would be great to have a nicer way of seeing “Shared by me”

7. Would be great to be able to somehow organize “Shared with me” and even synchronize everything “Shared with me” now that files in demand is available.

You are probably already thinking about these things but there you have it, some more input you can grok on :)
