External sharing of folders in Sharepoint Online - restrictions and notifications
Hi experts,... I have two quite basic questions,,,
1 - I want to change the external sharing permission -> in Policy -> Sharing, I want to configure a group of ppl that are allowed to share externally (Allow only users in specific security group to share externally)... Would that affect folders/files that are already shared - I expect it will not but not sure as there are some critical folders shared already
2 - is there a way to generate an email notification when a sharepoint item (page, file, folder) i shared externally?
thank you in advance.

no one had to deal with this yet? :)...
1 - so from what I've read... changing these should not affect existing sharing and will be in place for any new one... Will enable it and will see 🙂
2 - I've found a way to implement it - MS Purview -> Policies -> Alert Policies - and I have created a new one with Activity is ExternalFileSharing ...but when I've tried to share via link with external user, no alert was generated... Anyone has experience with this?
Hi sumo83 - What is the threshold for triggering your alert? Every time or after a certain volume has been reached?
