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.
