Share Folder to Anyone with The Link
When I try to share a folder with anyone with the link. Person who gets the link has to sign in... why is that? I need the folder to be seen by anyone with the link. How do I do this. I'm using my ...
Have them try in a private browser session. There should be no trouble using an "anonymous" folder link anymore.
I am having a similar issue.
Just to confirm if I use the shae with anyone the person with the link does NOT need a onedrive login.
Appreciate the confirmation
Correct, as long as you don't set a password on the file.
Thanks,
What is using private browser trying to achieve/fix?
Or what do you think may cause a login request for an anonymous link?
- If someone has a logged in Microsoft account that might have permission to the site / tenant somehow but not the document that was shared it can sometimes try to auth to show that you viewed the file etc. and throw a denied error. so going incognito basically prevents that cached account session.
It used to be way worse but it’s usually first troubleshooting step I use anytime anon links act up.
