That being said, this particular setting is only for Sharing the site, not individually folders and files so this will not affect File requests. So let say i have a SharePoint site which does not allow external sharing, and i move the External sharing slider to Anyone, then this SharePoint site will allow sharing with external users automatically?Īlthough we are rolling our File requests to SharePoint this is only available on OneDrive sites right now where this setting is rarely changed. Ok thanks again for your clarifications, i added my questions to your points:. That being said, this particular setting is only for Sharing the site/folders so this will not affect File requests. So will changing the external setting to "Anyone" and the folder setting to "View,Edit and upload" for SharePoint allow those contributor to request files and folders with external users? Although we are rolling our File requests to SharePoint this is only available on OneDrive sites right now where this setting is rarely changed. now if i move the slider to Anyone for both SharePoint and onedrive will this affect existing SharePoint and one drive sites? or this setting will only allow us to open some SharePoint sites and onedrvie sites for File Request? It will affect all existing sites. the SharePoint site will also need to get "View,Edit and upload" for their folders? is this correct? Correct, we cannot change this setting individually.ģ. One thing to note, you can still individually change site sharing settings from the Org settings depending on what exactly you are wanting to allow/restrict so this really depends on what you are trying to do.Ģ. i can not keep our SharePoint external setting as "New and Existing users", is this correct?- As OneDrive cannot be more permissive than SharePoint this would be correct. i have to move the External Sharing slider for SharePoint and for onedrive to allow Anyone. So will changing the external setting to "Anyone" and the folder setting to "View,Edit and upload" for SharePoint allow those contributor to request files and folders with external johnġ.

in our case most of the SharePoint sites grant users contribute permission and we disable the ability to share the site, as follow:. now if i move the slider to Anyone for both SharePoint and onedrive will this affect existing SharePoint and one drive sites? or this setting will only allow us to open some SharePoint sites and onedrvie sites for File Request?Ĥ. the SharePoint site will also need to get "View,Edit and upload" for their folders? is this correct?ģ. i can not keep our SharePoint external setting as "New and Existing users", is this correct?Ģ. So since in our case some users want to request files inside their OneDrive, so there is no way to avoid the following:-ġ. the confusion we get is that when you access the OneDrive admin center, you will see SharePoint settings also, and when you access SharePoint admin center you will also get settings for OneDrive. Inside our share point external sharing we are restricting sharing with external users to a specific group of users (through "Who can share outside your org") as follow:so does this affect one drive also? so even if i allow File Request indie One Drive admin enter, the user must be inside the above group? Larsonok thanks a lot for the detailed reply and valuable information. Will this setting (which you showed inside the screen shot) affect our existing SharePoint sites? The Folder setting, yes. However, for the one mentioned above "Folder" permissions, you currently cannot control that setting individually on sites, it has to be a global setting for all sites.ģ. If the answer is Yes, then can i allow this on some one drive sites only? You can configure many different sharing settings individually on ODB sites via PowerShell and the Set-SPOSite cmdlet. These can differ from each other however your settings for OneDrive sites cannot be more permissive than the setting for SharePoint sites.Ģ. The other being the slider which controls respective SharePoint and One Drive general sharing settings. 1 setting was for changing the "Advanced settings for Shareable links" - Folder settings to "View,Edit and Upoad". So the setting inside the screen shot you showed, will affect all users' one drive sites? There were 2 settings I highlighted in my screenshot.
