Anonymous sharing links for folders cease to work
can you check if you have the lockdown feature active on the site ? if so you will need to disable it
MicrosoftCan you take a screenshot of the access denied page you are seeing? If the link is expired, you should see a different error message informing you of that.
You can also try deleting that link and recreating it and see if that helps.
Thanks!

I just tried removing the anonymous link: I don't get any error messages (and close the dialog just to be sure). But when reopening the Get a link dialog, the anonymous link is still present. I tried a few times, I tried as site collection admin as well but we can't remove it. I've now set an expirary date for 1 day and will check what happens next...
The access denied page says: Access denied, you don't have permissions, log in with your organizational account...

It's the first time I come across this lockdown. There must be a zillion buttons you have to press to configure (anonymous) sharing.
Is the lockdown feature automatically enabled on a publication site collection? I guess most of the time we used the anonymous links from non-puyblishing site collections.
It's rather confuing that you can generate an anonymous sharing link while it won't work :-(
Thanks for your help Bruno Aleixo
