How do I share files ?

After you sign in with your work or school account on the OneDrive website, here's how you share files or folders:

Go to the OneDrive website and sign in with your work or school account.
Select the file or folder you want to share, and then select Share.
Enter the names of the people you want to share with and a message, if you want.
(Optional) Click the drop down list to change the type of link. The Details pane opens, where you can change who can access the link and whether people can edit the item you’re sharing.

Options for Who would you like this link to work for (options vary based on admin settings):
- Anyone gives access to anyone who receives this link, whether they receive it directly from you or forwarded from someone else. This may include people outside of your organization.
- People in <your organization> gives all staff (emails with cefc.org.sg) access to the link, whether they receive it directly from you or forwarded from someone else.
- Specific people gives access only to the people you specify, although other people may already have access. If people forward the sharing invitation, only people who already have access to the item will be able to use the link.
  
  By default, Allow editing is turned on. If you want people to only view your files, uncheck the check box. When you're done, click Apply.
When you’re ready to send the link, click Send.

Some sites may have been set up not to share files anonymously, thus the 'Anyone' is shaded grey.

If you need to share your work with others in a different organization or external individual users ,you can still do that with OneDrive. You will need to share the files in question with a particular email address. If it's a cefc.org.sg address there is no problem - all CEFC staff have access to Office 365. However, non CEFC staff (external users), may therefore need to create a (free) Microsoft account associated with the email address you created before they can authenticate to access the files you have shared.
