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...
This is a really frustrating issue. I created an anyone with the link, shared it with our CEO and she couldn't open it, needed to request access. I tested the link in a guest window in Chrome and the file open right up, but when I clicked "sign in" in Word and signed with a personal Microsoft account (Not the tenant where the link was created), I now need to request access. From what I understand this should work just like "anyone with the link" in Google Drive. It should not matter if you have a Microsoft account or are signed in or not, or decide to sign in while you are using the file. Am I missing something with the way this is supposed to work.
