From Monday 1 July you will no longer be able to share documents to ‘Anyone with the link’ within SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams. This change to file sharing will contribute to improving ÂãÁÄÖ±²¥â€™s online security.
What does this mean for me?
You will only be able to share documents/files/links on any of these platforms with ‘named users’, who can either be ÂãÁÄÖ±²¥ users, or other email addresses specified when the file is shared. There will be no option to 'Share with all'.
What more do I need to know?
- Access to files will be restricted to those ‘named users’ only
- If the link is forwarded to, or access is attempted by someone not on the original ‘named user’ list it will not be accessible
- Links to all documents/files shared in this way will expire after 30 days, after that time the link will no longer be accessible to anyone. Links still required will need to be re-created and re-shared with ‘named users’.
If you have any queries about the above, please contact the  on (01202 9)65515, freephone 0808 196 2332.
