"Share with people in org" results in cluttered Shared with me view

We like the new sharing dialog a lot but we found a major drawback.   In the past a document was shared with person A, who forwards it to person B who couldn't open the document because he lacked p...

    bart_vermeersch,

     

    Thanks for following up! My guess is that adding the anonymous link to the web part is what caused the issue. We don't recommend using the anonymous link for that type of scenario. 

     

    There's also a known issue around SWM not updating after losing access (or at least it taking a while). Stay tuned for more info.

Cool Stephen, I was wondering if it worked that way or just worked based off search permissions. I'm going to go run a test with someone and see what happens as well.

    Test, working as intended. If it didn't work that way, the Shared with me view would probably be enormous :). Bart let us know how you guys are sharing that out exactly so maybe we can see whats going on.

      Deleted, yep, that's correct! The sharing model now has two pieces: Permissions and Links. Permissions are the classic model for how sharing works. Links are objects that have a permission and a scope/audience but require the recipient to actually possess the link to access it. I highly recommend watching Eugene's talk from Ignite 2017 if you want to learn more!

        I almost got confused here lol.

         

        To sum this up, like it has always been, an item will appear on a users shared with me page if it has been shared with the user explicitly, right? If i share a file with a security group that has 5 users, this file would not appear on the shared with me page of any of these users.

         

        I hope this hasn't changed.

         

        Thanks,

    Oh ok, I see how it works and why I myself was confused because the old school SHarePoint in me thought you guys were slapping on a "Everyone except External Access" group onto the item when choosing that option, but it's actually doing a link method where you only can access with org login. Makes sense now, in this case, yeah this shouldn't show up in the Shared with me view!
