Files shared with Anyone sometimes prompt users to request acccess to the file
Kristin_Lund Our approach is the same as you and we still sometimes have issues (same experience as you). We've seen this with users who are already authenticated in their browser and those that aren't. If the user goes back and clicks on the link again they will have access....without any change by the person who originally created the sharing link.
this discussion is basically pretty useless... it is 100% obvious that this is a BUG !! (I spent 20+ years developing system-level software, so yes, I know what I'm talking about).
I've crossed so many people having this issue, and have done so many tests myself, that there's absolutely nothing to discuss, and all the "pseudo-smarties" here around that come up with explanations or suggest that it might be due to this or that setting, are just wrong... there is a bug in MS' code, and as long as no one from MS gets to reach one of the people who really develop this (i.e. those who have written the code, or those who maintain it), there is ZERO chance for improvement !

I'm not nervous at all... ;-
And it was not an opinion, it was a diagnostic ! - WhompaDompaMar 15, 2022Copper Contributor

Maybe switch to decaf?
