Microsoft update – anonymous access and internal links

On Thursday, March 30, Microsoft will adjust how anonymous access and internal links are used in SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business (internal links are those used by people within your organization).This change may have an impact on any links generated before May 2016.

Any links created before May 2016 and not used since may no longer work. The owner will need to recreate a new anonymous link and share it again with the invitee. If a link was generated and used after May 2016, it will continue to work. If you have any unused links that you want to continue to work, you should click on the link before March 30.
