Create a sharing link for a file or folder - Link scope

(1) Share

Report

Posted on by adriaanvw

Hi,

I'm trying to build a flow that creates a Sharepoint sharing link for a file or folder, limited to a specific recipient. At the moment the only "Link Scope" options are:

Anyone with the link, including anonymous

People in your organisation

Neither of these would achieve what we need. However, I noticed a third option, called "Enter custom value". Does anyone know what the capabilities / limitations are of this option, and what syntax it requires?

Thanks

Hi @adriaanvw ,

Scope must be either 'organization' or 'anonymous'. So custom value doesn't work here.

Unfortunately, MS Flow does not support such features. If you want similar features to be supported by MS Flow, please consider voting for similar idea:

Also, you could post your idea in the Flow Ideas forum, so it might be considered for future releases.

There is a way to share to a "specific user" it just is not as clear because you don't use any of the email flow functions. see my response on page 4 of this link, this does allow to share to a specific user.

@toddcarr1 sorry to bring up an old thread, but that post seems to be deleted or something. Can you explain the process you used?

I'm looking for the same solution but the screenshots aren't showing in the thread unfortunately, so the process isn't apparent.
