Sometimes, OneDrive's shared links may get stuck due to cached data, cookies, or outdated session information stored in the browser. Click to Clear data in your browser and then restart the browser.
If this happens only in Video sharing here some workarounds.
Share via Folder:
- As you've discovered, placing the video inside a folder and sharing that folder can bypass the issue. This method has been effective for other users facing similar problems.
Modify the Sharing Link:
- Some users have reported success by altering the sharing link. Specifically, changing a character in the URL from 'i' or 'v' to 'f' can switch the link's behavior, potentially resolving the download issue. For example, modifying the link from .../guestaccess.aspx?docid=... to .../guestaccess.aspx?docf=.... Please exercise caution with this method and ensure the modified link directs to the correct file.
