Transition from FTP to SharePoint Online
I'm looking for options to replace my company's existing FTP process. In most cases, it doesn't require the creation of an entire team site, but does require more than just a OneDrive folder. I'd lik...
Could be. Like you said the limits are pretty large. What you need to think about around that is supreme permissions via site collection admins. If only at any time a few people can see everything then it should work. With using sites you can get per site collection sharing option restrictions etc. So if you want to enable some to be able to use anonymous links and not others you can, if you do everything in one site your limited to one setting and that's it for all libraries.
Other than that, I can't really think of much more myself either for that scenario.

The site collection permissions are exactly what is driving it - specific to anonymous links. We don't allow them in our tenant without an expiry, and we have business cases that need it, thus this approach.
This site collection would be the only one to allow Anyone links, but we wouldn't want to give the user the ability to share from any other document library than the one they requested. Aside from setting up a site for each user or project, this seemed like a good option.
Thank you so much for your thoughts! I'm going to continue to explore it more to see what the best options are, but this might address our business case and not overwhelm our tenant with user specific site collections.
- If those users don't have access to the files in those libraries they wont' be able to share but you'll have to prevent via Doc Lib permissions.
If you go to Site Permisisons > Advanced Permissions, under Access request settings, you can uncheck the ability for members to share files and the site. I'm wondering if you could make use of this, and if your an "Owner" or full control to a library if it will allow sharing on just that library. I dont' think it works this way, but it's worth a test :P.
