Method 1 - Via the web app
-
Sign into Office 365 and open the OneDrive app that is in the apps panel.
- From here, upload your file or folder via the
- "Upload" button or
- Drag and drop your file from your computer onto the screen
- Once file/folder has been uploaded to OneDrive, you can now share it with whoever you would like to. There are 4 options on who you can share the file/folder with. Those are;
- Anyone with the link
- Anyone with the link AND that has a Schreiner University email
- People with existing access
- Specific people
- this will require you to type each person individually in the next step.
- Select the option that you would like. Make sure you uncheck the Allow editing checkbox if you only want the user(s) to view the file(s).
- If you selected specific people, you will type those users after selecting apply.
- Next you click the way you would like to deliver that you've shared something with someone.
- If you select the Send button, Microsoft will send a message to the user with the link to the file/folder.
- You can also copy the link and share it however you would like or
- You can click Outlook which will open your maiilbox in another tab and compose a new email with the link already embedded into the body of the email, from here you can edit what you would like to say to the user.
Method 2 - Via the OneDrive folder on your desktop
-
This method is almost identical from the first method, except you are doing all this on your OneDrive folder on your computer
- First, navigate to your OneDrive folder which will be located on the left pane in your file explorer (this will be in the Finder on MacOS)
- if you cannot find the OneDrive folder, you can open the OneDrive app from the bottom right corner of you screen, it looks like 2 little blue clouds. From here you can click the Open folder button and it will open the OneDrive folder directly.
- Once here, you can select the folder or file you want to share and then right click it. This will bring up a drop-down menu where you can select the Share option.
- From here, it is exactly the same as part 3 from Method 1 and beyond.
