Access Denied when sharing folders
We have been using Sharepoint365 for projects and have different folders shared with vendors for some time, but now all our external users are getting "Access Denied" when trying to access the folder...
Ok! I found the problem! Well... Actually Microsoft Support helped me with this.
It seems that another part of our organization indeed had changed the setting without telling us in IT.
Solution:
In the "Site setting", "Site Collection Administration", "Site collection features" the "Limited-access user permission lockdown mode" must NOT be activated.
This setting is automatically activated when the "SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure" feature is activated.
Is this for all sites? Or just one site?
- This is for all sites and for all external users in different organizations.

Hi Lars Bo Wassini,
Is this continuing to happen? If so, can you send me a private message so we can troubleshoot further? Thanks!
