Something Went Wrong - OneDrive Sharing file and folder
- Jun 02, 2020
Hi Suraj_Sukumaran,
Based on the screenshots you provided, this looks to be an issue that occurs when you have too many items with unique permissions in the same site. You can read more about the limits here.
Generally we recommend either moving content into separate site collections to reduce the number of unique permissions or look for other ways to group files together (say, in a single folder that is shared) instead of sharing the files individually.
Hope that helps!

Suraj_Sukumaran Any update on that? I'm having a similar issue when trying to share a file or folder.
No work around yet

I tried OneDrive (for Business) today for the first time and I'm also getting "Something went wrong". Technical Details: {"status":-1,"code":"NoConnection"}
I doubt it is a problem with too many items with unique permissions in my case - I have a grand total of 2 folders (the built-in Notebooks folder and the test folder I just created), and one item in the main OneDrive folder and one test item in the test folder.
When I right-click on the test folder and choose the OneDrive share option, after about 2 seconds I get the "Something went wrong" dialog.
Could it be a GPO setting?

Found a solution (and maybe we need a GPO to control it).
Go to "internet properties", "Advanced", "Security" and uncheck "Do not save encrypted pages to disk" and click "Apply".
After this change we are able to share a OneDrive file in Windows Explorer.
