Let’s Share
With Allow editing selected, recipients can change files and add files in a shared folder if they’re signed in with a Microsoft account. Recipients can also forward the link, change the list of people sharing the data or folder, and change permissions for recipients. If you’re sharing a folder, people with edit permissions can copy, move, edit, rename, share, and delete anything in the folder. When this box is unchecked, people can view, copy, or download items without signing in. They can also forward the link to other people. However, they cannot make changes to the version on your OneDrive. Finally, with the email addresses added, choose to Send. Recipients receive an email that provides access to the document. If they don’t receive the email, have them check their email junk or spam folder. The recipient will receive an email providing access to the document. Please be sure to check your spam folder if you’re the recipient of the invitation, as it sometimes gets flagged. If you don’t want to send an email, you can choose Copy link. Select this option to share items using Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Zoom, Slack, or similar apps, or through email or messaging. Anyone who gets the link can view or edit the item, depending on the set permission. Users with the link cannot upload new items, however. As you can see, sharing documents through Microsoft’s OneDrive is a straightforward process that offers some customization, such as data expiration and password.
