trying to share folder with guest, but access denied.

I create sharing link of folder with anyone can edit permission.   But result was, you do not have permission, and access denied.     WHY?

Juhyun, it is hard to tell with the info you provided. If you were able to generate the link - looks like you have appropriate external sharing enabled. Try another browser or user. Also, sometime I noticed that when you share folders, it actually tries to render the whole library - so make sure other site assets (logo, etc) are available to those who you are sharing with.

    Greg,

     

    I wish I could give you more info.

     

    But it is simple as I wrote above.

     

    I made folder shareing link with "anyone can edit" permission on sharepoint site.

     

    But when I use that link, it says: Accenss denied. You do not have permission... blah blah...

     

    It is not browser problem.

      Hi 주현 김,

       

      I am one of the Program Managers working on sharing in SPO and ODB. Can I get a few extra details about the problem you're seeing? Are you creating/copying the link inside of the SPO/ODB web experience or is it happening in Office?

       

      Also, is it possible to get a screenshot of the error screen you are seeing? Thanks!

        I attached screenshot, but everything is in Korean.

         

        Let me translate this for you.

         

        I created link from sharepoint site, document library, with "edit - no need to login" option.

         

        And I copied that link, and that link has "guestaccess" word in it, as you can see.

         

        When I try that link in different browser, which is not logged in to sharepoint site, it says;

        Access denied;

        You do not have permission to access this resource.
