Files shared with Anyone sometimes prompt users to request acccess to the file
Kind of same issue:
Go into my business One Drive online, right click on a folder to share,
change "Anyone with link can edit" to "Specific people" and uncheck "allow editing.
Click apply, then in next window type in one of business email addresses of a user.
Send the link, the user receives link in email, they click on the folder link,
chrome launches and they are asked to put in user credentials right away.
The standard Microsoft poup for "remember credentials", yes, then
user gets straight into the shared folder.
Every 2 days or so I get message from 2 to 3 end users that this folder has
been shared with, that One Drive is asking for credentials to login.
This is very annoying, we just don't hand out the login password to end users,
so everytime this happens I need to remote into their computer and add the credentials.
No idea why this happens, it seems to be after an update and restart to the computer,
or just a power off and restart.
I have gone into the credential manager and clicked on "remove" of Office and Microsoft credentials.
Still keeps happening.
Computer is updated, Chrome is updated, etc.
