MicrosoftChange to ODB/SPO sharing dialog specific people option
We'd REALLY like to have this default to "People with existing access" in SP. It is messing with our preferred approach in SharePoint of keeping specific user assignment in security to a minimum. We cannot convince our users with permissions that every time they want to send a file link, they need to change the link type, and we end up with people who already have access via group membership now having specific named access.
MicrosoftHi Brent Hawthorne,
We have this work on our backlog but don't have a timeline to offer. The best thing you can do to help us prioritize the work is to make or vote up a request on user voice.
In the short term, one other option you can explore is turning off the "members can share" feature on your team sites. Once disabled, only the owners can add new people which may help reduce oversharing cases. Thanks!

- Hi Stephen
Do you have any news about this feature? I was looking today to set "People with existing access" as default, but still not possible.
Thank you and kind regards

Hi Ivo Rohrer,
Nothing to share here at the moment, sorry. Feel free to submit this idea on user voice as well as this helps us prioritize work as well. Thanks!

Hi Stephen,
I used to use this Sharing option in my personal OneDrive (via Office365 Home). I used to share my PRIVATE family photos with only my wife... and now for some reason the options to Specify a User have all gone! (I went to share a new folder today....)
This was a BIG part of the usefulness of OneDrive. Do you have an explanation of why this option has been removed and when it will return? For me, this is a make or break. We use OneDrive in Office365 in business and the option to specify specific users still exists. But to be blunt, it makes my Home subscription useless for me as I don't have a secure way to share documents between family members now.
Thanks, Dave
