Confusing-Sharing
MicrosoftHi all,
Just popping in to +1 Salvatore's reply. Exactly the right solution and the right explanation for why the product does what it does. Feel free to ping me if you have any other questions/concerns on sharing in ODB & SPO. Thanks!

When someone sets up "Share with Specific People "and "External users must accept sharing invitation using the same account that the invitation was sent to". Does MSFT alter the email header to prevent the recipient from forwarding the email with the invite so non-specific people can't view the document? What exactly happens to prevent someone from forwarding the original invitation with the link?
I need to explain to clients why this feature protects their documents from being shared.
Thanks,
Michelle

Hi meichner,
No, we do not alter the headers of the mail in anyway and the mail itself can be forwarded to other people. When this happens, however, the new recipients will still not be able to view the doc as when they click on the link they must either A) sign in with the account that was shared to or B) prove they own the e-mail address that was originally shared to. This is how we keep the documents secure. Thanks!
