Verification setting for external share links?
I'm trying to find settings that control account verification with the newest Team/Group style Sharepoint sites in Office365. Right now when I share a file with "only the people you specify" it requi...
I have the setting it's right in the additional Settings section, once you check the box it allows you to enter days on the : Require recipients to continually prove account ownership when they access shared items setting.

- Ah, sorry, I missed it. The Days box doesn't appear unless the option is checked. Leaving it unchecked seems as if it still requires continual proof of account ownership. I was hoping I could set it "verify once and never re-verify" but that doesn't appear possible so I guess I'm back to trying to figure out how to re-enable anonymous sharing on the new-style sites.
They have a checkbox to not prompt for code again when they input the code, this puts a 30 day cookie on the machine or whatever.
As for anonymous sharing on Group sites, you have to download SharePoint Online Managment shell.
connect-sposervice
tenant URL so tenant-admin.sharepoint.com don't forget -admin
get your group site URL and use it for this command:
Set-SPOSite "url" -SharingCapability ExternalUserAndGuestSharing
That will turn on Guest sharing on Group connected sites.- The SharePoint Online Team site (O365 groups) external link share does not have an option to allow that:
"They have a checkbox to not prompt for code again when they input the code, this puts a 30 day cookie on the machine or whatever."
Verification is 15 minute but it is actually longer. Accessing the link 24 hours later will give the recipient a co-relation error and it didn't prompt to enter the email address. The recipient has to clear the browser cache. Some recipients do not know how to clear browser cache.
