Sharing a video: download button removed
Hi all, I've got a SharePoint Online site that I use to share video files with external users... 'anyone with the link' level access, no authentication required. Up until today, that's worked great....

Sharing from a folder could technically allow for traditional file viewing and downloading, but as you already pointed out, this approach isn’t scalable on a per-user basis. Managing thousands of folders to support individualized access would quickly become a logistical nightmare and introduce unnecessary complexity into the automation process.
For your case :
- Zip the file
- Store the .zip in SharePoint
- Share the zipped file using a regular anonymous link
- Send that link to parents
