One Drive Access

I have a trial version of an Access app, that we want to make available to people. I had been putting it in a folder on my One Drive and creating a link to distribute. This worked fine until recently. Now when someone clicks the link they are getting prompted to enter their Windows Live account information. 

Obviously this is not good. Did something change? Am I not setting the link properly? I' selecting Share and choosing Get link. I have it set to anyone with an Edit or View Link

Is One Drive not going to work for this purpose?

    When a user uses the link I send them there is no account prompt.

    Hi Pacouk. The link still functions, but when the user goes to the link they get prompted to enter account info. 

    Here's the link http://1dv.ms/1KVsShc. You don't need to download the file, just tell me if it prompts you to log in. It didn't prompt me just now, so maybe it was a temporary thing.

    I have a file uploaded to my OneDrive, Public

    This was still functioning as of two days ago.

    I tend to post the link, in a reply, when some requests the file via email
