    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!

I ran the command Set-SPOSite -identity https://mytenant.sharepoint.com/ -DefaultLinkToExistingAccess $true

It completed with out any errors however the share sheet default option is still the same “people in my org with link”

How long does the change take to apply?

Is that the right command? Note: I used my tenant when I ran it.

Arne Vandeleene, thanks for the feedback! Our aim has been to build a lot of great controls here so that admins can tune the experience to fit their specific needs as needed. And we're always looking to improve in this space!

 

Michael Rennie, the command only works on a per-site basis so if you ran it for mytenant.sharepoint.com, it will only apply on that site collection. You will need to run it for each site collection where you want this default to apply (e.g. tenant.sharepoint.com/teams/team1, tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/projectalpha, etc). 

 

Hope that helps!
