Restricting views with anyone external sharing
I want to share a modern document library folder with anyone read only (i.e. external users). that works fine and they see what i expect them to see in the default view.
But is there a way to stop a user with a link to this location from changing the view?
The default view is what I'd like them to see - other views contain things like user names (who modified etc.) which would breach GDPR.
It would be great if you could share with a "locked" view.

- You can't edit view as an anonymous user. The only case this would happen is if you share with someone with logged in credentials in your org that might have access, but testing it, with true anonymous account you can't do anything but work with the files.
Sorry if I was not clear, I meant stop then switching to another pre-defined view not editing a view.

A possible work around would be to created a dedicated page with the content displayed and only allow access to that page. I have not tested this.
