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...
Lmarin1980I use Firefox as a browser. I also keep IE and Edge on my computer. When I create a folder in One Drive and Share it with a link, BECAUSE I have a hosted exchange account with MS, it appears as if any time I create a link, and attempt to use it myself, the browser references my MS account. And therefore wants validation for a username and password. IF I use a browser that is NOT associated to my MS account (from past use) such as Edge, then the link opens WITHOUT asking for log on credentials.
I have warned other users that I send links to, that they need to either have a browser that has NOT been infected with MS tracking cookies or other markers, then the link should open. If they do not have that option, then they should clear their browser cache and cookies. I have not had anyone tell me that process does NOT work.
Bill_Hawkins Thank you! I will download FF again and ask my team to do it as well. It's annoying but as long as me and my team's work relies on MS Excel it's going to be difficult moving away from onedrive.
