Hi Trevor, thanks for the response. We are aware that this is a security feature by design, but even in Microsoft Edge (Chromium), this invalidates a good 70% of the documents stored on our SharePoint.

  Hallo wir haben das gleiche Problem. Wir haben eine große SQL Datenbank mit programmiertem Frontend für eine Link Sammlung hinter denen Dokumente auf Firmenservern liegen.

  Haben Sie eine Lösung für das Problem gefunden?
  Beste Grüße
