OneDrive stuck on Creating Shareable link
Fajardos -- Here is a Word document with directions to share OneDrive folders. See if you can follow these directions to share a folder with me!

Glad you got it working. These days, unfortunately, one would be creating a huge liability to allow anonymous edit capabilities by anyone who happened to have a copy of your link. Some bad actor might try using your folder to transfer child porn, for example, to another deviant. Then you'd get the FBI possibly crashing down your door!

TomWickerath First thanks for you time.
I think I found the "confusion"At least for me, "sharing" a folder means that the user should be able to modify it (delete/edit and add items)
As soon you want to do something, MS asks for credentials.
It may be "obvious" that MS needs credentials to track the changes, I guess I was expecting something like the old FTP system where you can be "anonymous".
Note: dropbox behaves the same. It asks for credentials if you want to modify the folder content.
Regards
