Shared Folder with Internal User, User getting Message, "You need permission to access this item".
RyanSteele-CoV , Yes I had confirmed that and that wasn't the issue. Thanks for your reply.
I found that the "Limited-access user permission lockdown mode" was turned activated. Once I deactivated it, the user can now access. I never would have thought that this feature exists (Not sure why someone would want a shared document blocked...), but it was exactly what I was looking for.
barlage You've checked that the end user is using the sharing link for the folder and not trying to get in some other way?
You may want to try the diagnostic here: Access Denied or permission errors in SharePoint Online or OneDrive - SharePoint | Microsoft Learn

- Thanks for the update. I had no idea that feature existed either!
