Sharing Folders
Sorry that still did not work. I sent a sharing request, created Microsoft account and then accessed files. When I went back to the sharing invitation it wouldn't allow me to access the folder. In great big letters "Sorry, you don't have access to this page". I JUST DID!!!!!!! This is very frustrating. What is the point of sending an invitation to share a document if they don't have access to it after they create the account? Its like its a one shot deal.
Tried but couldn't reproduce this behavior in our tenant, it worked as expected. I don't know about any other setting than the one I referred to above (which should be UNchecked and which was checked in your screenshot).
If you copy the sharing link and paste it to an incognito/private browser window to have clear session, will the same happen?
I misunderstood you and actually checked that box and encountered the same behavior. With the box checked or unchecked once the sharing invitation has been sent the user is not able to go back. Now if I send the sharing invite again, it will work just fine. Its almost as if the sharing to someone who doesn't have a Microsoft account doesn't allow them to go back. Does that make any sense? The sharing invite has to be sent a second time once the account has been created because the first time only allows for creation of the account.
This is not the 'by design' behavior then, so I think it's worth to open a service request to investigate this.
