Files shared with Anyone sometimes prompt users to request acccess to the file
My company is experiencing an intermittent problem where sometimes a OneDrive for Business file shared with the setting "Anyone with this link can edit" prompts the user the file is being shared with...
Thank you - I think PhilippeA is correct that this is a bug that has never been addressed, and I like your tip about having users try the link a second time. I'm just going to add that to my emails when I send a link around. Hoping it helps. Ridiculous that MS can't resolve the bug (but I'm no software engineer, so what do I know).
Yeah. We've determined it's a bug awhile back, the problem is they can't figure it out :). Hence them trying to get or somehow find a way to reproduce it which seems fairly impossible based on how random it seems to be. How many resources or what not has gone to this is anyone's guess, but def. a bug.
But besides the bug the other suggestions have been related to other scenarios that don't have to do with the bug and are other issues not related that get jumbled into this same thread, hence our discussion about the misunderstanding on the statement on how it was shared cause that would def. introduce a different issue that is a UX problem but not a bug, but we've determined that wasn't the case based on our clarifications :).
The original issue is most def. a bug that I'm sure haunts the SharePoint sharing team.
