What is /:f:/r in shared URLs?
Hello, When I click on "get a link" on a document, the URL looks like this: https://orgname.sharepoint.com/:f:/r/sites/[Path to document] What is the purpose of "/:f:/r" in that URL? Most of...
It's just part of how they are treating links to documents in SharePoint nowadays through their new link system. If you share it with others using invite or anyone link it'll change to :x:/s: instead of r to signify it's a sharing link. But it's something with the link system when access files putting it there.
Just a reply on what the letter stands for:
/:f - designates a folder
:/r - indicates a read-only link
:/e - edit link
Fred Y You seem to know stuff - what does :x: mean in my SharePoint url it comes right after the company name in the url like this: .sharepoint.com/:x:/r/sites/
- “:f” means Folder sharing
- “:w” means Word document sharing
- “:x” means Excel document sharing
- “:p” means PowerPoint document sharing
- “:b” means PDF document sharing
