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.
Fred Y what does :/t represent.
If I had to guess probably the new "Team" sharing option coming to the new Teams sharing links.
Has anybody found a comprehensive list or dictionary of the :?: file types?
I'm specifically after what an :o: refers in decoding a potential phishing url - kinda tricky when not a direct Sharepoint user tho...
JonnyiPhonenot really. This page from Microsoft talks about what R: means, which means Private. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/SharePoint/What-is-f-r-in-shared-URLs/m-p/234125#M20735
My impression is the O: means Outlook.
Are there downsides to removing these characters from the url before sharing it? I saw this user voice requesting these be removed from links, so I'm wondering what the value is they provide?
