Difference Between Share and Copy Link in SharePoint Online

One of the most common confusions in SharePoint Online is that you have both the Share button and the Copy link option to share files or folders. Since both actions result in a shareable link, many users mistakenly believe they work the same way. The truth is, while both “Share” and “Copy” link can technically generate an identical link, they represent two fundamentally different methods of granting and managing that access. Confusing these two functions is a frequent cause of accidental over-sharing or compliance headaches.... Read More Read More
