OneDrive vs. SharePoint
- OneDrive: your personal work files, which you can share when needed
- SharePoint and Teams: shared team and company files that belong to a group
Share a file or folder
- Open OneDrive or SharePoint in your browser, or right-click the file in File Explorer or Finder.
- Click Share.
- Choose who the link works for. Pick "People you choose" or "People in your organization" whenever possible.
- Enter the names or email addresses of the people you want to share with.
- Choose whether they can edit or only view.
- Click Send, or Copy link to paste it yourself.
Avoid "Anyone with the link" for confidential information. Anyone who obtains that link can open the file.
Stop sharing
- Select the file and choose Manage access.
- Remove a person or delete the link.
Sharing outside the company may be restricted by your organization's security settings. Contact us if you need to share with an external partner.
