'Copy Link' dissapeared in OneDrive context menu

Benjamin 25

Hi,

Today I opened Finder on my mac to share some files over OneDrive but suddenly the 'Copy Link' option is missing in the context menu.
Since we have a big team who uses this frequently, this small change has a big effect on our efficiency.
Is there a way to reverse this?

Kind regards! User's image

Hi @Benjamin

Based on the information you provided, I understand that you opened Finder on your Mac today and noticed that the "Copy Link" option has suddenly vanished from the OneDrive context menu when you right-click a file. Since your large team relies heavily on this feature for daily file sharing, this missing option is causing a major hit to your workflow and efficiency.

When testing on version 26.106.0603.0003, I experienced the exact same bug where the "Copy Link" option completely disappeared. However, after rolling back to an older version (26.045.0308.0003), the context menu immediately fixed itself, and the "Copy Link" button returned.

If you and your team are facing this same situation, you can temporarily resolve this by downgrading your OneDrive client using the following steps:

Please close OneDrive completely. Open Finder, go to your Applications folder, and drag the Microsoft OneDrive app icon to the Trash. Download the older, working version directly from this link:

https://oneclient.sfx.ms/Mac/Installers/26.045.0308.0003/universal/OneDrive.pkg

Open the downloaded .pkg file and follow the on-screen prompts to reinstall OneDrive > Launch OneDrive, sign in with your team credentials, and let it map to your existing folder. Once installed, try right-clicking a file in Finder to see if the "Copy Link" option has successfully reappeared for you.

Please give this a try and let me know if it brings the feature back for your team, or if you need any further assistance!

Is this "missing entry in context menu" a confirmed "bug" or are we seeing a new "feature"?

In other words:

Is there a plan to fix the bug?

Or do have to bite the bullet, learn to love the feature and now use the online browser version to get the link copied?

The downgrade to an older version is not an option in my scenario. I have the same issue on my Mac (same buggy version of OneDrive)

Hi @Lars

Thanks for your question. Based on my research, there doesn’t appear to be any public documentation describing this behavior at the moment.

If possible, I would recommend sharing this idea through Microsoft Feedback so that the relevant teams and experts can review your suggestion.

Thank you for your patience.

@Michelle-N I'm not suggesting a "feature". This is a somewhat a humorous way to ask, if Microsoft confirms the missing entry in the context menu as a "bug". A bug would be fixed over time and some later version will bring the functionality back. To be clear: An item that was working before (see post from @Benjamin ) is now broken, i.e. what normal IT people consider to be a "bug"...

This is so annoying. I hope there will be a fix soon.

Reverted to the linked version in the article, and after 10 min the copy link option disappeared. Unsure if anyone has an active workaround.

This has been a huge frustration for our entire team, and I hope that the 'Copy link' is added back to the contextual menu as soon as possible.

I cannot down grade back to an older version and having to open the browser version any time i need to copy a link is asinine. WHEN will this be fixed properly....or will it even be fixed?

I've had to right-click "Share" and there is a "Copy Link" option there. Hopefully they'll add it back to the menu. It's very annoying they took away something that worked fine.

The "Share" and then "Copy Link" is not a work around for me. It only works, if you enter an e-mail address above. I need to share links w/o first entering mail addresses. The to-be-shared links are already accessible to multiple people. Please bring back the function to "Copy Link" directly into the context menu. The only known work around is to open the folder in a bowser and then copy the link from the web version. Very annoying.
