User Share > Then anyone security option and copy that link. Then should be something like: 
https://xxxxxxxx.sharepoint.com/:t:/s/xxxxxxxxxxxsite/ESsLUY92kJhIgfgYgMQrprgBRe725nqcTXFy52gF2wEkbQ?e=olbgXf

- drewstes1Aug 26, 2024Copper ContributorHi Chris, Thanks for your reply.
 I don't think this solution will work in my situation. I am using OneDrive for personal use. It is not through SharePoint as far as I am aware. Shared links for files in my personal OneDrive look like the first link below. It redirects to a longer URL (also below), and adding "&download=1" to either links does not do anything. Perhaps this works in SharePoint, but I am not using SharePoint.
 Shared Link: https://1drv.ms/u/c/XXXXXXXXX/XXXXXXXXXXX
 Redirect Link: https://onedrive.live.com/?redeem=XXXXXXXXX&cid=XXXXXXXXXX&parId=XXXXXXXX&o=OneUp- Aug 27, 2024That was onedrive for business. Sorry didn't know you were talking about personal.- OnnoJ1Mar 31, 2025Copper ContributorSame problem with Microsoft 365 Family. Any solutions?
