It's really difficult to troubleshoot someone else's issues. I share links frequently and usually include a note that if they have any issues, to Browse as Guest(Edge) or Incognito mode(Chrome). It seems to solve this issue.

    PamDeGraffenreidI just check. Incognito/Private just work fine on my Mozilla Firefox. I check yesterday incognito on Mozilla Android and there was also work fine. But when open to incognito on Edge I got message to I must login to see that files. And my friend who was always open my links on his pc and smartphone, today on his job he say to he cant.

    We just got simple microsoft login window and cant view anything.

     

    edit: I just try to open link in same Edge browser but normaln mode, not inkognito and its work fine 🙄

      NordPixels Works fine for me - tested in Edge (logged in and InPrivate), Chrome (logged in and Incognito) and one my tablet. I also tried it while I was logged on with a Microsoft account and O365 online account. Can't duplicate the issue at all. The good news is that you are set up correctly, otherwise it wouldn't work.   I have a session that is logged in, and when I click on the link it opens a new tab that doesn't authenticate or have any of my information.  

      I'm not an admin, but I think it is possible for a company to use policies to automatically pass credentials or force log in using something like Okta.   When that happens, it looks for them in the directory and they aren't found. 

       

      The articles I found online only show this error for an external user- in those cases it should be resolved by incognito mode.  I wonder if there is a sync issue or it is taking a while to apply - do you usually test the links immediately or are they out there for a couple of hours before you test?
