Sharing Files in OneDrive

Share a Document

1. Select the document(s) you wish to share and click the Share button in the top ribbon menu
   1. By default, files will share to whomever you specify, with edit permissions enabled. If you wish to change any of these default values, click the drop-down for "Only people you specify can edit". In the field, enter the name of each person you want to invite to share the document. As you type each name, SharePoint searches the address book for matches and lists options. When you see the name you want, click it to add it to the invitation list.
   2. Select if you want to allow the user(s) to have permission to edit the document. You can change the permission for any person later. Then click Apply.
2. If you want, type a message to be sent to all invitees in an email. The email includes a link to the shared document.

Edit Documents that are Shared with You

• Click the document link in the email you received informing you that a co-worker has shared a document with you.
  or
  Go to your own OneDrive in a web browser, and choose Shared from the left side menu to see files share with, and by you.r another Office program.
• If you don’t have edit permission, you won’t be able to edit it. Instead, you can review and save any edits separately.
  • Click File > Save to save your changes as a new file. This will create your own copy of the file; unconnected to the original shared file.
