I create sharing link of folder with anyone can edit permission.   But result was, you do not have permission, and access denied.     WHY?

    Alexander Wuttke, can you confirm that the "Limited access mode" is disabled for the site containing the document you are trying to share? Thanks!

      Hello,

      I’m creating an anonymous sharing link to a One Drive sub-folder.  No expiration.  OneDrive admin and SharePoint admin settings for sharing are set properly to allow external sharing of folders for view, upload, edit.  Limited-access user permission lockdown mode is disabled in the top-level site collection features.

       

      In another browser and on another machine, I’m receiving the very same access denied error mentioned by folks in this thread.

       

      Are there any other settings to check?  Please advise.

      Thanks!

        Hi PittSharePointPro,

         

        Make sure you have anonymous sharing enabled at both the tenant level and at the site collection level. If you are sharing from a Group-connected site, you will need to turn on anonymous links using PowerShell as well. Let me know if that doesn't solve things!

         

        Thanks!
