Additional information

  • Create an anonymous or organization sharing link.

    • Anonymous: anyone with the link has access, without needing to sign in. This may include people outside of your organization. Anonymous link support may be disabled by an administrator.

    • Organization: anyone signed into your organization (tenant) can use the link to get access.

  • When the sharing link doesn't use anonymous settings, it can be sent to others outside the organization. Credentials may be needed to view the shared file or folder if the user is not part of the organization.

  • By default, you cannot create an anonymous type sharing link for a file or folder in a group. You can only create an anonymous type sharing link of file or folder in an organization.
