    Hi Matt Coats,

     

    We changed over to "Copy Link" when we rolled out the new sharing dialog. This has been in-progress for the last two months so your tenant may have seen that changes anytime in that period. 

     

    Also, we currently have no feature that allows you to uncheck "Allow editing" by default. Stay tuned though... :)

Copy Link works differently when an item is inside the folder.

If an item is directly inside the document library, it opens correctly. But when it is inside the folder it redirects to DispForm.

 

Anyone has the same issue.?

Hi vinayak hegde,

 

Can you explain in a little more detail what problem you are seeing? Are you not getting access to the file in some cases? Thanks!
