There are three ways to share a file in OneDrive for Business:

 

1. Share by hovering your cursor over a File or Folder:

 

• Go to OneDrive for Business through your Office 365 account. (This is located within your email application found in MyCampus.)

 

• Go to the site library that has your file or folder you want to share.

 

• Hover your cursor over the file/folder you want to share, then left click Share.
   

            

 

• In the share dialog box where it says Enter a name or email address, type the name or email address of the person or people you want to share the file or folder with.
  
  
  
  
  
   
• Select a permission setting in the drop down box, such as Anyone or People in Northwood Technical College.

 

• Check or uncheck the Allow Editing box. Click Apply.

 

• Type a message to be included with an email that's sent to all invitees.  The email will include a link to the shared file or folder.

 

• Click Send.

 

            

 

2. Share a file by using Copy Link

 

• You can share a link to a file by choosing Copy Link.  The Copy link option is available in the share dialog box.  

 

• This link can be shared with anyone by copying and pasting it into an email message.  Below is a list of link options for sharing a file.

 

• You may also chose to share the link in an email by clicking Outlook. This will generate a new email with the link in the email body.
