Share with anyone with the link setting is grey out, why?
Hi all
I happened to find that the 'anyone with the link' option in Share action is grey out.
I checked the sharing settings and all looks fine. Did I miss something?
Please refer below pic...
Works fine here. Don't forget that the sharing settings can be configured on the individual SC level, so even if the org-wide settings allow anonymous sharing overall, some SC/ODFB libraries might not have the option available.
In my case, I can share just fine from my personal ODFB or from a generic SPO site. I get the same behavior as you when I try to share from a Comm site or Group/Team one. When I look at the settings of the corresponding SC though, I see this:
SharingCapability : ExistingExternalUserSharingOnly
So it seems working as expected.
Hi guys,
Thank you all for the patients.
I checked the odfb site's properties and found SharingCapability is set to Disable, maybe default value for that.
When I set the value to ExternalUserAndGuestSharing by
Set-SPOSite -Identity -SharingCapability ExternalUserAndGuestSharing
It worked!
Hi Justin can you share how to check the ODFB site's properties Justin Liu ? I got the similar case here and don't know what to do.
- Per my knowledge, there is no GUI for setting the sharing option for personal odfb site, so the only way is to use PowerShell. Right?
- I’ve never seen that option be disabled before on onedrive. Especially if sharing is set. Only ever seen it happen to group sites. All your onedrive sites are disabled?
Not checked all, but maybe. After all, my tenant has been used for years. I have worked at AvePoint and tested a lot on my tenant, such as DocAve Online Central Admin. So perhaps I changed the settings then.
Anyway, I already know why this happens. 🙂
