Microsoft OneDrive is a cloud-based storage service that allows users to store and share files and folders online. In this tutorial, we will go through the process of sharing a file or folder through OneDrive.
First, you will need to have the OneDrive service through Microsoft and the OneDrive app installed on your computer. Once you have the app installed, you will be able to see a status bar that shows a green check mark whenever a file or folder you have in your OneDrive folder is synchronized.
To share a file or folder, right-click on the item and select “Share” with the blue cloud next to it. This will bring up the Share plugin folder, where you can send a link to anyone with the link.
By default, the link allows anyone to edit the file or folder. If you don’t want others to be able to edit it, uncheck the “Allow editing” box, and apply the change. Now, anyone with the link can only view the file.
You can copy the link and share it through your email program. Microsoft OneDrive does not require the recipient to have a OneDrive account to view the file. They will be taken to a web page where they can download the file.
To test the link, you can open a different browser where you are not signed in to OneDrive and paste the link in the address bar. It will take you to a OneDrive upload page where you can download the file.
In conclusion, sharing files or folders through Microsoft OneDrive is a simple process. You can send the link to anyone without requiring them to have a OneDrive account. With these steps, you can share your files and folders with ease.
