Thanks for the feedback! I'll ask you the question I've been asking elsewhere 🙂 If you could enable only the Request Files link (e.g. you can get an anonymous upload only link but not an anonymous view or edit link), would this be something you could take advantage of? Thanks!

Yes! In fact we have it already enabled but it does not work....StephenRice
- rpagliucagrimaldispizzeriacomJan 28, 2021Copper ContributorJust wondering if there has been any progress in this timeline in the six months. This feature would be a boon to our org. We're currently wasting money on third party service for this simple function.

Hi rpodric
We started with OneDrive but our plan is absolutely to bring this to SharePoint as well. No ETA yet unfortunately but something we are looking at. Thanks!

Why isn't the feature available in Sharepoint too? Especially considering that OD is more or less a component of Sharepoint, it can't be a technical reason.

Hi LianaJohnson,
No updates as of yet. We've got this on our backlog but don't have a timeline just yet. Thanks!

StephenRice This is a feature we need as well. We have anonymous sharing disabled, but would like the request files feature enables for our tenant. Any updates on progress for this enhancement?

StephenRice Sorry, you missed my point. I was responding to your question 'if you could enable only the Request Files link (e.g. you can get an anonymous upload only link but not an anonymous view or edit link), would this be something you could take advantage of?'
We have Anonymous/Anyone Links disabled at the tenant level but we really like to have the Request Files link working! - StephenRiceJan 24, 2020

Hi JoostKoopmans1,
Can you share a screenshot of your admin settings? It looks like something is disabled and preventing File Requests. Off the top of my head that could be:
- Anonymous/Anyone Links are disabled at the tenant level
- Anonymous/Anyone Links are disabled for OneDrive
- Anonymous/Anyone Edit Links for Folders are disabled.
Thanks!
