MicrosoftRobert thanks for the feedback. This is by design today since the intent was to give you the ability to email the file to others that are NOT group members (hence the default sharing to the entire organization (you can change the permissions to Recipients can edit or Recipients can view).
What did you expect from the Email action in the files view?
Hi Christopher,
Thanks for your answer.
I would fully expect that the default be edit for those within the group, especially since the group is a private group. For public group I can understand if the default was entire organization, but not for a private. normally when I would communicate within the group, I would normally intend for only the group to have edit permissions.
From your feedback, it seems that the common behaviour for email is to communicate with those NOT in a group, but I think the normal purpose for communicating with email links would be to specific group members, or entire group.
As a follow-up question, is there any way for me to change the default for my own tenant? using powershell. If not, I would request that the default be changed to edit permission for the recipient of the email.
thx
Robert
