How share files on One Drive Business

Before starting: Depending on the type of licenses you have and/or setup, by default your OneDrive for business only allows you to share your content with people within the domain /company.

In order to share files/folders, you first have to create a folder and change its permissions so it can be shared. Once you do that, the content of the folder can be shared.

Logon to your OneDrive for Business account

Either create a new folder (i.e. Shared Content) or select the folder containing what needs to be shared.

Under the Sharing tab, click on the lock. (see print screen)

Enter Group “ Everyone” or the person you want to share with and then click on Share

------------>Now the content of the folder can be shared.

Create any items in the folder.

Select the fole and click Share

Type the email of external people you want to share it with.
