Download a single file from "Shared with me" folder in OneDrive for Business
In the "Shared with me" folder in OneDrive for Busines it's easy to download multiple files or a folder. Just select the files or a folder, and then click on Download. However, when I select only one file I do not get the download option in the menu at the top. The workaround is to first open the file and then download.
Is it supposed to be like this, or is it something wrong on my side? I have tried different browsers (Edge, IE11, Chrome) and searched this forum without finding an answer.
Hey all,
I just chatted with the owners of this area and this is going to be one of those head scratching explanations :) . Under the hood, the code path that controls single file download and multi-file download are actually separate (and very different apparently). In the SWM view, we were able to light up multi-file download very easily, but single file was a little bit tougher (different requirements). The good news is that the team is aware of the issue and looking at it in more depth. Thanks!
