Do I need Exchange Online so SharePoint Online / ODFB notifications are sent when sharing?
Dear all, Just a question I don't have a clear answer: do I need Exchange Online so SPO / ODFB can send notifications when a file or folder is shared? I'm aware of the changes done by Microsoft last...
- Jul 06, 2017Thanks Ivan,
I have already solved this thanks to Microsoft support...basically for scenarios where there is not Exchange Online deployed, if you want your Office 365 users to get notified when a file is shared with them in SPO / ODFB, you have to configure work e-mail field for each user in the SPO user profiles...well, as I say many times, I'm always learning new things in Office 365 :-)....so issue solved

I can confirm that in my tentant (full fr) sharing notifications are sent from the users exo mailbox and appear in the Sent Items folder.
I remembered a change in the past but wasn't aware it has been rolled out to us. I noticed it since our MX records point onPrem to an spam firewall and the sharing notifications did no longer appear to be incoming, so I assumed there was a bug with the sharing notifications.

This networks mobile experience is still poor and doesn't show the date a reply was posted, so I'm not sure if I replied to an older comment :)
