Where has "Copy Link" gone!!??

Question

Just installed the latest update for windows 11, and now, in file explorer, the "copy link" option is no longer there.

To top it off, when i hit share, i get a nice window giving me options to share with people, but I can only select one person! and it shares a copy of the file rather than a link (the files are all on sharepoint).

This is now such a pain to send someone a link to a file, having to log into sharepoint and locate the file to share it, whereas before the update, i could find it in my file explorer, right click and copy the link.

Sort it out!

Answer 1

Is this actually going to be fixed? or do we all need to uninstall windows updates to revert back to previous working versions?

Why on earth would the option to copy a link to share a onedrive file be taken away??

Answer 2

Agreed - why would you remove this feature as it virtually cripples ways of working within our team. IT services force the update upon us so its for Microsoft to address this urgently.

Answer 3

Hi If i am not wrong they have move the copy link to share. When you click you see cut and copy the share button.

Then the copy link is there

Answer 4

I have windows 11 since some days and alos recognized this problem. Removing this function is a real step back and has big impact to efficiency. I can not understand how microsoft can make such a decision. Please bring back the copy link function for one drive and share pointin the right click menu asap!

Answer 5

I have noticed the same - and the onus should not be on the user to manage rolling back the system to undo updates in order to reinstate basic functionality.
