'Copy Link' and 'Share' create unique permission automatically
ganeshsanap But informing the user to manually modify the url is not very user-friendly !! i found a better solution using the share instead of copy and chose people with existing access, this will not create unique permissions!
johnjohn-Peter Yes, you can do it using the "share" button for people with existing access/permissions.
And answer to your original question (Do anyone know if there is a way to prevent a file from getting a unique permission if the users want to copy the link?) is --> No, it is not possible to change this SharePoint out of the box behavior.
So, if users are using the "Copy link" button which is causing issues for you - it is better to hide it.
