    Hi Kamilla, 

     

    Sure I get you. AFAIK it's because sharing links no longer Teams based links, they are full SharePoint links because Teams has fully aligned to the SharePoint/OneDrive sharing experience. When you used to do sharing links, it was designed to go within Teams. A sharing link today will be something like 'https://yourdomain.sharepoint.com/:f:/r/sites/Name' which will automatically trigger to go via a browser session because SharePoint is browser based. 

     

    If this is something you want to see reintroduced I would personally raise a feedback uservoice at https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/

     

    Hope that provides an answer to your question

     

    Best, Chris
