trying to share folder with guest, but access denied.
StephenRice Per your last comment I am actually not even being asked to login. It just immediately gives me that access denied message. This is from another browser, not logged in to any account.
StephenRice / Pieter Veenstra,
Stephen suggested checking “Limited-access user permission lockdown mode” enabled? It’s configured in Site settings->Site Collection Features. Because this does not allow folder sharing.
This was in fact the issue and I'm good to go.
Thank you all for the assistance!
I manage a parent site, with multiple subsites. All subsites that had external links were no longer working today for our outside partners. Stumbled upon this thread and it saved us!!! What I don't get is how this "limited-access user lockdown mode" was enabled/activated in the first place! Thank you for posting!!!
I just run into this today. The solution is exactly as Joshua Henderson described with the help of Pieter Veenstra
What's very extrange is that in my case was with a new site collection with external and anonymous access. It's not documented anywhere.
Great, follow through. Changing the Limited-access user permission lockdown mode setting worked for me. Thanks!
