SharePoint Sharing Scenarios and how to deal with them
MicrosoftHi Deleted,
It sounds like the new "Default Permission" feature may solve your scenarios. Once set, users who share (via the new sharing dialog) will have their links set to "view only" by default (satisfying scenario 1). When those users need to get feedback or collab more directly, they can just up the permissions as needed. Note as well that this only applies to sharing of documents and folders, not sites. Hope that helps!

Is this new feature due to come out soon? I have set the default to internal sharing but the default still remains with "Allow Editing" enabled:
Interestingly, I have also posted about the fact that sharing behaves differently when members are assigned 'edit' permissions vs 'contribute' permission
Microsoft's announcement of this indicated a gradual rollout, so there's a chance it could already be in your tenant (in the Admin Center's SharePoint Sharing settings), or, like me, you'll have to wait a bit longer.
Ours looks like this:
The announcement I posted earlier shows what you would see if your tenant had the new feature. :)
