Did Not Receive an Email Notification that a Document Had Been Shared
I shared a OneDrive for Business document with a user in my organization via the "people you choose" sharing link. I then asked that user to share the document with someone else.
What I was expecting to happen was:
- they would be able to share the document, and
- I would an email notification that the document has been shared.
What I did not want to happen was:
- they are unable to share the document, and
- I do not get an email notification that it has been shared.
The user was able to share the document (expected behavior), but I did not receive an email notification that it had been shared (undesired behavior).
Thoughts?
- It appears you've already given permission to the third party to access the document, so the intermediate sharing is not really doing much.

Mike Williams - It doesn't look like the feature I want exists, so I submitted the suggestion in the feedback forum. Thanks again for your insight.
