MC559250 – OneDrive: Sharing Experiences – Improved external sharing in the sharing control (archived)

Product:

OneDrive, SharePoint

Platform:

Online, US Instances, Web, World tenant

Status:

Cancelled

Change type:

Feature update, Admin impact

Links:

100713

Details:

In the current sharing control, if your admin or organization allows external sharing, you're required to go to the sharing settings and select the right link type in order to successfully share externally. In the new experience, we make things a lot easier for you: as soon as you choose an external person to share with using a company link, we will display a prompt to confirm your choice. If confirmed, the link will automatically change from an internal-only link to a "Specific People" link, and you can simply proceed to share. Otherwise, we will display a simple error message that says, "This link won't work for people outside of your organization." As always, this new experience respects the organization's settings around external sharing and default link types.
