Confusing-Sharing
MicrosoftHi Bruce,
To your first question, if the link is e-mailed through OneDrive & SharePoint, it will show up in the recipient user's Shared With Me view. Otherwise, once they click on the link, the document will also show up in that view. In general, when ODB/SPO can be sure that the user should have access to the content, we will try and make sure it shows up in SWM. The primary cases where we don't know are when you copy the link as then we don't know where it is being sent.
For your second question, anyone who has edit permission to the resource is able to re-share it (assuming the Members Can Share feature is enabled, I can give you more detail on this particular policy if needed). There is an additional sharing policy in the admin portal that prevents external users from re-sharing content they don't own.
Anytime someone clicks on a link while authenticated, they will show up in the "Manage access/permissions" pane and be associated with that link. If the user is not signed in, no information is added to the permissions pane, but we do log an audit event that the anonymous link was used.
Hope that helps!

StephenRice Wish the OneDrive sharing policy has an additional policy that prevents internal users from resharing content they don't own. This is becoming a big problem with OneDrive adoption as few members are worried that the content they own is now being modified by people that they didn't intend to.
StephenRice - Apologies for the late response. Yes, ODBMembersCanShareoff setting solved the problem.
Thanks for your help!

Hi Anantha Dommeti,
There is actually a setting that you can turn on as admin that forces Members Can Share off on OneDrives. You can set thsi via PowerShell (I believe it is ODBMembersCanShareoff). Once off, only the owner will be able to share. Give that a try and let me know if it works! Thanks!
