SharePoint Online – unused internal and anonymous links stop working on 30 March

All unused anonymous links stop working on 30 March 2017!

On 1 March 2017, Microsoft announced internal changes to improve reliability and management of anonymous and internal links. Unfortunately, all links unused by 30 March 2017 will stop working.

Announced dates

  • 1.3.2017 – Microsoft's announcement of the change and its impact on anonymous and internal links
  • 30.3.207 – Unused anonymous and internal links stop working

Microsoft's statement

On March 30, SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business will adjust aspects of anonymous access and internal links (people in my organization) that may impact any links generated before May 2016.
Any links created before May 2016, and not used since, may no longer work and the owner will need to recreate a new anonymous link and share it again with the invitee. If a link had been generated AND used before May 2016, it will continue to work after this change. If you have any unused links that you want to continue to work, you just need to click on the link before March 30, 2017.
