Text-box will be highlighted so you can copy the full link. To copy, right-click and choose  "Copy" or simply (ctrl-c) to copy link. Note: Entire URL is automatic selected for your convenience.





 


For 2024, a new API breaks the above

Rolled out is some regions, the above method will not work. Here's the work-around.

1. Choose item in OneDrive and click Download button.

1a. In your browser (Edge shown), choose the download link to display downloaded history.

2. Select download item and then right-click on the downloaded item.

3. In Sub-Menu select Copy download link, that will give you a very long link. And that works!


Warning: This link only last 1 hour. Please see comments below.












For Images, you get a direct url
  1. Right-click on image and select Embed. The Copy the URL to embed image now gives you direct download URL, but is super long.

    So you do not need to do the above!

  3. Nice :) Here's another way to do it with videos (I don't think it works with documents)... Open Onedrive in you browser and go to a video and click on it so the video plays... Then right click on the video and choose 'Copy Video Link' and there you go :) I stream on Roku and it works great :) from John

    2. Permanent for next few years. MS reengineered the API which is a considerable investment. The last API lasted 10yrs.
