Hi Mauro,

Thanks for getting back to me!  I'm stuck at creating the shareable link.  When I go to share the image I only have 3 options: People in Organisation, people with existing access and people I choose.  I select "people I choose" as it states I can share inside or outside our organisation, but it wont let me copy the link, I have to provide and email, username, or group.  There is no "Anyone with the link"

The Right Way to Create a Shareable Image Link

Here is how to generate a link that works for everyone, including external users:

  1. Right-click the image and click "Share"
  2. Make sure the link is set so that "Anyone with the link" can access it
  3. Copy the link
  4. Remove everything after the question mark in the URL
  5. Add ?download=1 at the end

    Hi JoeHeraty, 

     

    That means that your OneDrive/SharePoint admin has disabled the ability to create public links, which is pretty standard to protect organizational data and prevent missharing. 

     

    Can you contact your admin and explain your use case to see if they will enable that for you? 

     

    If you found this helpful, consider giving some Kudos. If I answered your question or solved your problem, mark this post as the solution.

      Hi Taylor, 

      Thanks for the response.  After speaking with our tennant admin we can only create sharepoint sites that can be sharing within our domain.  We're going to test hosting the images on another server that is accessible.  I will let this thread know if our solution works

      Thanks!
      Joe
