You Are Here #5: Sharing of Files From OneDrive

1. Go to office.com and open the OneDrive app

2. Open a folder that has a file you would like to share in the “My files” area of window

3. Once your file is located you can either, share directly from this screen or you can open the file and share from that screen.  Part A and Part B will show both procedures:

         A. From the “My files” window, hover your cursor over the name of the file until three dots appear. Right click and choose “Copy Link” from menu that appear
       

B. Open the file from “My Files” by a double click.  Once opened, find the “Share” icon in the upper right hand corner of screen.  Click on icon and choose “Copy Link” from
               menu that appears
        

4. Since the default setting can be different in OneDrive office to office, you will want to check to see if the file  is to share for "editing" or "viewing."  Once “Copy Link” has been chosen and the dialog box will open, check to see if the statement below is "edit" or “copy.” You can click on the ">" to change as needed. Then Choose "Copy"
   

5. You can then email that link to those that you need to edit/view the file by pasting the file link into the body of an email.
