Tag: SharePoint sharing

SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business have a new sharing link control which highlights the permissions assigned to sharing recipients. It’s a minor tweak which is actually a pretty good idea as the last iteration of the sharing control buried permissions behind the scenes. And as we all know, permissions are important to IT resources.

If you encounter an error when sharing a SharePoint file, you might see an error code like OSE204. What do these mainframe-like codes mean and why does SharePoint show them? Or more importantly, how did the sharing capability of a site change through administrator incompetence? And why is Microsoft removing the option to send a sharing link via Outlook (OWA)?
