Set Default Sharing to "People with Existing Access"
Am trying to set sharing default to "People with Existing Access".
These are the steps I have taken:
1. Set the default sharing link to "Internal"
The result of this is:
2. Next I used Powershell to "Disable Company wide Sharing".
Set-SPOSite -Identity <site-collection> -DisableCompanyWideSharingLinks Disabled
The final result is - see below.
Why is it defaulting to "Specific People" instead of "People with existing Access"?
Hi Gilbert Okello,
We do not support setting the default to people with existing access. When the default link is not available, we set the default to the next supported default link (which in the case above, is specific people). If this is a capability you're interested, I'd suggest submitting this to onedrive.uservoice.com to help us prioritize the work. Thanks!

This is causing a lot of issues for us as well. I voted for this topic on UserVoice.
We just need Microsoft to add another option... i can't imagine that this would take long to include "People with Existing Access" in a future update:

StephenRice"People with existing access" is the most logical choice when working amongst Office 365 Groups & Teams, which MS has obviously been pushing. Definite oversight/doesn't fit with MS's evolving access use cases. I'm voting for the fix, but please ack the user experience gap and push the team.
