Share as a OneDrive link outside organization
Hello Maruthi Gadde this is clear for me.
The problematic part is that recipient needs to have MS account to access file. Because when I use sharing approach from OfB - Share with specific people (email) then recipient does not need to have MS account he is asked to fill email and then there is send confirmation password and he has access to file.
Another problem with this Share via Outlook email is that there is no sign about such sharing in Manage access in OfB. No link created, nothing.
For me it seems like this kind Outlook kind of sharing is working strange. Especially when it comes to external sharing.
The question is if that is by design or there is something wrong?

Hello Pavel, the sharing of OneDrive files through the main Outlook options sometimes lack of simplicity and clarity.
If you want, you can have a look at the Attach2Cloud product, this product offers to share files through a nice and easy control center in which the permissions displayed are the only one offered on your tenant.
With Attach2Cloud you can also target other platform like Sharepoint or Teams.
You can use all the OneDrive permissions allowed, while in Outlook you are limited to a subset of them.
If you want to see by yourself, you can ask a fully functional evaluation of Attach2Cloud and you can try in few minutes to see how you can make a full use of your OneDrive power from inside Outlook.
