My guess here is that once the ODFB is removed, the shared links will e also removed from the shared view of all the users to whom the former employee shared information with
Thanks for reply Juan, I also have same understanding, but did not found any documentation or article on this information.
But my concern, we are not immediately deactivating or disabling the ODB license, we are only deactivating AD account. In that case, others user can still access the shared information or not.
Deactivating them in AD depending on sync will most likely delete them from office 365. If you do not have preservation turned on for OneDrive it’ll delete after I believe 30 days by default. If you have the setting to keep one drive user files for x amount of time set then the shared files will continue to function because the site doesn’t get touched only then access for that user gets removed but the content and other permissions on the site stay the same.They can still access it. You can reduce the "retain deleted ODFB sites" setting duration to speed up the removal process, or manually remove permissions as needed.
