Attaching Onedrive file default permissions

Hi I have a question, been looking into it and can't find a solution. When our users open a new email and attach a OneDrive file the default permission is anybody in the organisation can edit...

Open Office 365 SharePoint admin center
Click sharing
Set the default link type to direct.

This will set the default permissions to recipients can edit.

Hi Mike,

Thank you for your reply. I checked this but this setting is already set like you suggested.

What permissions are the default when using Outlook web rather than the client? There was a time when Outlook Web was setting "recipients can edit" and the client was still setting "org can edit." This was fixed in a Click to Run update.

Also, at one point I had to move that switch from direct to internal, save, then change it back to direct and save. Maybe you need to try the same.
