Re: What happened to the 'Share' pop up?
The issues are that: The messages about this change talked about "When selecting the “Email link”* or “Get a link” command for a file or folder the user will be presented with a simplified interface". My users generally used the 'invite' option, not the share via link option. They may be the same under the surface but from the users point of view they used invite. Now there is confusion over the difference between the 'share' option and the 'Get link' option. I would have hoped that the announcement message about this change would have mentioned that the 'invite people' option was going to look so different. To highten the confusion the share dialog that is triggered from the sharing option in the Details panel is still the old one that has the 'invite' option. So selecting share from the '...' menu on a file opens up the new simplified UI with a different way of sending an invite type message, but selecting 'add people' under Sharing in the file details triggers the UI with the actual invite option. The message stated that the rollout was expected to complete by mid September and the message was fully removed from the message centre at the end of September ... yet it only rolled out to us in mid Jan. So by the time it arrived (3.5 months later) we had completely forgotten that the message ever existed. So it seems that we are going to have to start creating our own copies of all of the message centre contents. Was this change listed on the Ofrfice 365 Roadmap, I couldn't spot it? This "Simpler Sharing Experience" seems to have just created more confusion amongst our users here.

Although that discusssion and the page that it links to (https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/OneDrive-for-Business/A-Simpler-Sharing-Experience-on-OneDrive-for-Business/m-p/4817#M99) is all about the sharing of links. They don't seem to mention the removal of the invite functionality?4KViews0likes8Comments- 4KViews0likes9Comments
What happened to the 'Share' pop up?
Hi, When I selected a file in OneDrive for Buiness (web) and clicked on 'Share' I used to get a window like: But today my users have started to report that they are only seeing: What's happened to the rest of the invite options? Have I missing something? Thanks4KViews0likes12Comments
