Onedrive for Business Download Folder that was Shared With Me Fails
- May 18, 2017Does he have access to all files in the folder that you have shared?
There also might be a file issue with one of the files in the folder preventing it from being downloaded, can you download the same folder from your side?
I have tested both downloading a file and folder from shared with me section of my Tenant and there is no issues, failing the top two options it would be worth raising a support ticket from inside your Admin portal for Microsoft to have a look.
Thanks for your reply - the issue is only with downloading a Folder. Files are fine. When he selects a folder, and clicks the download button he receives an error about services being unavailable. It was shared from OneDrive - not Sharepoint.
I read the link you provided - Would that keep a user from being able to download a folder when they can download the files in that folder? Or is it possible the folder was created on Sharepoint and the files added from OneDrive? Thus the permissions on the files are different than the folder? It seems odd that he can see the folder and has the button to download it - but can't. Also odd that he's not receiving a permissions error.

I have also been able to complete the same steps without issue and are quickly coming to the conclusion that the user in question is encountering a file in the folder that is corrupted and causing the issue. Thank you for your help - it is appreciated.
