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

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.

Hi @주현 김,
Thanks for posting these screenshots. Nothing is leaping out to me that might be ocurring. I will send you a private message so we can discuss via e-mail. Thanks!

Bit late, but from what we've seen this functionality is only available for files, not folders.
Allowing an authenticated user to share a folder to external users with anonymous access, then preventing the invited user from accessing the site seems a bit half baked..
Perhaps disallowing this or a message within the site would be helpful Microsoft?

Hi All,
When I try to share some file with user who does not have access to the library, I get the error attached in the screenshot. Please help.

Hi Omi,
The error you are seeing is expected. You have configured a link that only works for one set of users, and then attempting to send that link to a user who doesn't have permission. To fix this, click on the link options at the top and enter the user you want to share with in the People Picker in the Link Settings page. We're also working on some improvements to make this flow more understandable to users. Hope that helps!

I am still getting this as well.
It's strange. Our test tenant is good. I am able to share an entire folder with a guest link to an anonymous user, but my production tenant with the same sharing settings gives me this access denied error that @주현 김 is getting. However, i am able to share files from the same place with no issue.
Please help --> Maybe explain exactly what is required to allow this.

To confirm, you are trying to create and send an anonymous link to a folder (in a OneDrive or in a SharePoint site?) and are seeing an error message. When you try to share a link to a file, it works fine. One possibility, in the admin center, we have a feature that lets you disable anonymous edit links for folders. If you've flipped that switch, it could explain this behavior. Can you confirm that this feature is not enabled? Thanks!

Yes sir.
I'm trying to create and send an anonymous link to a folder in OneDrive, and the same happens for SharePoint, when I get the error. And yes, when I try to share file via the same means I have no issue.
I have both OneDrive for Business and SharePoint sharing folders set to view, edit, and upload.

Very odd. Can you paste a screenshot of the error you see when you try and get the anonymous link? Thanks!

As you can see in the screenshot below I am not getting an error obtaining the link. However, I (anyone) get Access Denied when accessing the folder from this link.

Hi Joshua,
I can see that the link has an expiration value on it. Can you check and make sure the expiration is after the current date? Thanks!

I wonder if the clue is in the error message. "your work or school account". I'm getting this kind of errors quite often as I switch between 5 tenant all day long. Could it be that a Microsoft account that isn't connected to your production tenant is picked up?
Have you tried opening the link in a differnt browser? Or maybe even a different machine/device?
Oct 04 2017 09:29 AM
I just created the link when I replied, and the expiration was Oct. 13. Today is Oct 4th.

@Pieter Veenstra thanks for the reply!
You are right. I was thinking that to at first, but I've been testing with creating the link in Chrome, and then opening IE InPrivate Browser to navigate to the link (not logged in). And vice versa.
I have also created guest links on folders in the same format in our test tennant and it works with no problems.
Oct 04 2017 10:02 AM
Thanks for confirming. That's definitely odd. If you're clicking on an anonymous link, you shouldn't actually be prompted to sign-in at all so that shouldn't be the issue.
Can you contact me at srice@microsoft.com and we can debug further? Thanks!
