Sharing Link - Something Went Wrong
MicrosoftHi Cameron,
That doesn't sound good at all! What type of link are you sharing with? Are you selecting the "anyone can access" link, or a "only people in <Org>" or "specific people"? If you can paste a screenshot of the sharing dialog, that will help as well. Thanks!

Yeah, its been pretty frustrating. On Friday I created the sharing link directly from the OneDrive interface hoping it would be more stable. It seemed to be working on Friday when I posted this message, but then I checked back again a moment ago and the sharing access says "Only You", indicating it is no longer shared.
This is sharing only inside my Organization, and it is a read only link, not editing access.
As I said, most recently this was done directly inside the OneDrive web interface. Prior to that it was with the Share menu from inside of MS Word, then clicking Get a sharing link, then selecting Create a view-only link.
I just thought to go check the Audit Log search to see if something in the file history can show what happens in between and I think I am on to something, though I still don't understand.
My audit log shows that document being deleted from OneDrive, then re-uploaded right (1 second) after. This has happened a few times with the same document (that was just created on Thursday, so its otherwise a pretty clean and easy to interpret log.)I can see that behavior also mirrored looking at my OneDrive sync client.
So, I guess the real question is why is *something* (maybe OneDrive sync client) periodically removing and then re-uploading that document???
I attached a screenshot from my OneDrive sync client. I'm not sure if it is a cause or simply a symptom of the cause in this case.- StephenRice
Hey CameronGo,
Yep, that would explain the behavior you are seeing regarding sharing links. I'm totally unsure of why the file is being deleted/re-uploaded constantly. Can you send me a quick e-mail so we can trouble shoot offline? Thanks!

Hello, did this get resolved?
I think I've a user experiencing a similar issue. The user is uploading a Word file and sharing it. However, the file then being deleted and uploaded again by the OneDrive client within a couple of seconds. This is creating a new document ID and removing the previous share.
I've copied a trimmed output from the Audit Log that shows the change in List Item Unique ID.
This isn't the first time this user has had this issue.
Any help to resolve this would be very gratefully received.
Thanks
Phil
