Sharing in OneDrive means giving someone else access to a file or folder so they can view or edit it. It allows you to collaborate quickly without sending email attachments.
-
Open OneDrive in your browser or desktop app.
-
Right-click the file or folder you want to share, then choose Share.
-
Enter the email address of the person you want to share with.
-
Choose whether they can Edit or View the item.
-
Click Send to share via email, or Copy Link to send in a Teams chat message.
-
Files others share with you appear in your Shared view in OneDrive.
-
Click the shared item to open it in your browser or app.
-
If you have edit permissions, you can make changes, which will sync automatically.
-
Use descriptive file and folder names so collaborators know what they’re accessing.
-
Confirm permissions before sharing, especially if the content is sensitive.
-
Share links rather than attachments whenever possible to keep files up to date.
