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...
Nope. It should work like that. Microsoft Tries to track who opens the files etc. if they are authenticated and that causes the issues we see with it I think. It mostly works fine but it has its issues sometimes.
I am not sure 'it should work like that' is a correct statement. I do believe that you are right, that they want to track users, but the result is that Anyone can open it EXCEPT if you are logged in. Which is kind of opposite day. You have successfully shared it with the entire world except the people in your organization.
What Microsoft should so is check how it is being accessed and respond to that. If it is by the shared link than that should be the first check. If it is directly to the file, than that should be the check. But denying access to your organization while opening it up to the world is the opposite of what should happen, IMHO.
