    Hi,

     

    One the Modern View of OneDrive for Business Try this out:

    1.Go to the test 2 folder; right click on it-Details.

    2.Click on manage access on the right hand side menu that populates after 1.

    3.Click on "Grant access"

    4.Get a Link.

    5.On the drop down select Edit no sign in required.

    6.Copy this link and share it with the people youd like to share it with.

     

    The catch:For anonymous links the URL would have something like

    "/guestaccess.aspx?folderid=106f8636f63ff4931a8e4f6d473c2f740&authkey=AZO5GP8HVoPdGWWrR3earZc" this is the sort of a token used for guest access on the resource.

     

    When you just go to a file like you did and copy a link that would eventually have no information on whether if this does have anonymous access and hence asking you for authentication.
