trying to share folder with guest, but access denied.
Greg,
I wish I could give you more info.
But it is simple as I wrote above.
I made folder shareing link with "anyone can edit" permission on sharepoint site.
But when I use that link, it says: Accenss denied. You do not have permission... blah blah...
It is not browser problem.
MicrosoftHi 주현 김,
I am one of the Program Managers working on sharing in SPO and ODB. Can I get a few extra details about the problem you're seeing? Are you creating/copying the link inside of the SPO/ODB web experience or is it happening in Office?
Also, is it possible to get a screenshot of the error screen you are seeing? Thanks!

I attached screenshot, but everything is in Korean.
Let me translate this for you.
I created link from sharepoint site, document library, with "edit - no need to login" option.
And I copied that link, and that link has "guestaccess" word in it, as you can see.
When I try that link in different browser, which is not logged in to sharepoint site, it says;
Access denied;
You do not have permission to access this resource.
Link creation from sharepoint librarycreated link which has guest access optionaccess denied.

Hi 주현 김,
Thanks for posting these screenshots. Nothing is leaping out to me that might be ocurring. I will send you a private message so we can discuss via e-mail. Thanks!

I am still getting this as well.
It's strange. Our test tenant is good. I am able to share an entire folder with a guest link to an anonymous user, but my production tenant with the same sharing settings gives me this access denied error that 주현 김 is getting. However, i am able to share files from the same place with no issue.
Please help --> Maybe explain exactly what is required to allow this.
