Announcement: New OneDrive Admin Center Preview
- Hi Cary - here is TechNet article on how to enumerate domain guids.

In the OneDrive Admin Center > Sharing, does the "Default sharing links" refer only to the "Share" button in a user's OneDrive page, or does it also mean the "Get a link" button?
It would be great to make this more obvious in the page as to which button this affects.
The reason I ask is because I'm sending test links from a test user account to myself (on the same organization), and when I open the link to the document it shows me as "Guest Contributor" instead of my name.
The option that is currently selected for my organization in this section is "Anonymous access - anyone with this link"
If I switch it to "Internal," will my users still have the option of external links via the "Get a link" button?

Hi Mario Cajina,
The default sharing link will apply to both the "Share" command as well as "Get a link". All this setting does is set the type of link that appears when the dialogue opens, users are still free to select different types of links as needed. Thanks!

Hi StephenRice,
OK, I just tried it by changing the option, and I understand what you mean.
It'll require an extra little step for my users to select "anyone with this link" for external sharing. However, it now shows my name as the contributor for a shared file.
This is preferred since most of the collaboration will be done between people in the organization, so it won't show just a generic "Guest Contributor" in the document's activity history.
Will this change affect any links that were already sent before I changed the behavior? For example, will it break any links already sent outside the organization? Will my users have to re-send a link and make sure they select the "anyone with this link" option in the "Get a link" window?- StephenRice
Hi Mario Cajina,
Glad it worked for you! So you know, we have some improvements coming down the line to ensure that when an internal user is shared with via an anonymous link, their face will show up on the document (if they are signed in) so you should see some improvement soon.
Changing this will not affect any links that have been sent in the past so everything should continue working well! If you have any more questions, please let me know! Thanks!
