Share Files in OneDrive

You can share your files and folders with SPU and non-SPU accounts by following the steps below.

Step-by-step guide

1. Click the Share icon next to the file or folder you would like to share: 
2. In the window that opens, click "Only the people you specify will have access to edit", then select who and what level of access you wish to give, as seen in the images.
   1.  →  
3. Choose whether or not you want to allow view only or edit access to the file/folder and select Apply.
4. If you choose the "Anyone with the link" option, there will be a default expiration date set for 30 days. You can modify this date, but it may be no longer than 30 days. You may also set a password for the file/folder sharing link.

5. For access for select people, enter the email address(es) of who you wish to have access. You have the option of sending a notification.
6. The system will generate a link you can share and email to others, allowing them to either view or edit the file/folder, depending on which option you chose.
7. Copy and Paste the link so you may use it later, or type in the SPU users email and hit Send.
