New Sharing Features For OneDrive and SharePoint

Hi,

I'm not sure if anyone out there has ever encountered situation that I'm about to illustrate next, I hope I could get clarification and perhaps some helps from here.

This is about creating download link for documents stored in Office365 Sharepoint online. I noticed the pattern of links created nowadays (at least today) is different from previous one, result getting upon the link clicked is different as well.

Long story short,

Previously

I created a link to a PDF file with option "Anyone with the link can view", when the link is being accessed by IE, the web browser will prompt for download without rendering the content. The link pattern is as below:

https://xxx.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/guestaccess.aspx?docid=0ac5bf6ece807441a6ebe8376511aefa3&authkey=AVkyTRJCXNcukelg_4gZie0

Now

I created a link to another PDF file with option "Anyone with the link can view". It is different when the link is being accessed by IE this time. Instead of asking for where to save the file, it renders the content in the web browser. The link pattern is as below:

• Generated by sharepoint.
  https://xxx.sharepoint.com/:b:/g/EeW7Y_RqLZtKpkGyI-ZyQJcBv83hz-K3IGVdYRM2J6afeA?e=eAg7vs
• Redirected to this link below when accessing the link above.
  https://xxx.sharepoint.com/Shared%20Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspx?id=%2FShared%20Documents%2Fxxxxx%20Procedures%2Epdf&parent=%2FShared%20Documents&p=true&slrid=cd8d4e9e-f0f9-5000-1bc0-e8804ca4f663

What I want

Now I'm not able to create links where its pattern is similar to the previous one, because I guess the difference in link patterns causes different result.

What I want is not any new feature, I just want the previous way of file sharing whereby people will be prompted for download when the link is being accessed. Is that possible?

Regards,

Kenny
