OneDrive shortcuts and multiple tenants

Question

Hi,

we have two tenants (due to migration) and users are currently present in both. Let's call them Tenant A (target) and Tenant B (source). We want users in Tenant A to access a SharePoint site document library in Tenant B via One Drive shortcut. A guest user doesn't support creating shortcut. Is there any other way?

We don't want to use web or sync folders.

Thank you.

Hi Ratul,

That's correct.

Answer 2

Yes, currently, adding shortcuts to shared folders in OneDrive is available only to internal users.

Here is workaround for you:

1.Go to Library settings -> Permissions for this document library -> Grant permissions with users in the Tenant A. Then users in the Tenant A can access document library in the Tenant B through email invitation.

2.Users in the Tenant A go to their own OneDrive, add a new link. In the new link, use the link of document library in the Tenant B.

3.In the OneDrive client application, click Open folder, then users in the Tenant A can open the document library in the Tenant B through newly created link.
