How can we improve sharing and collaboration in OneDrive across all experiences??

← OneDrive Sharing & Collaboration

Download Shared file instead of open it online

When you send a single file, allow users to download them instead of opening the file on Excel/power point/word online. That's a pain when you receive a large file and have to wait long to let it open and then download it or open it on your desktop.

    So this! This is particularly an issue with encrypted Office documents which will not open in Office Online, but unless you're logged into Office Online you don't get the option to download - see screengrab.

    This makes it next to impossible to transfer encrypted (eg GDPR compliant) files to anyone who isn't logged into Microsoft's system.

    PLEASE create a "Download Only" option on Share links.
