Restricted Link in New SPO Sharing Interface
Hi Stewart Foss,
We made a slight behavior change to the "restricted link" option by allowing users to add more people to the document at the same time. Selecting that type of link and entering no name is equivalent to the old model, though we totally agree it's a little weird.
On a SharePoint site, we actually have a 4th option called "People with existing access only" which is identical to the specific people link except that it doesn't allow you to add new people. To confirm, the screenshots above are from OneDrive for Business, correct?
We've been discussing if it makes sense to have that 4th option in ODB as well so I'll forward this thread along internally so can discuss more.
Also, Salvatore Biscari described the correct way to set the "default link" that will show up to users when they click share.
Thanks for the feedback!

You can set the default to "Direct - only people who already have permission" in the OneDrive Admin Center:
Then, you should see the following:
And that's all...

- It was in SharePoint Online, not OneDrive. I checked today and there is now a "People with existing access" link, which is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.
