7. Sharing Files

The files on your OneDrive are private until you share them. Keep in mind that when you share folders with Edit permissions, people you share with can add the shared folders to their own OneDrive. This lets them keep the folder alongside their own folders and items, easily move items between folders, and more easily work on it offline. Any updates they make sync with the shared folder, so everyone with access to the folder is up to date.

NB. Recipients can add shared folders to their OneDrive, not individual files. If you want the recipient to add files to their OneDrive, put the files in a folder first, and then share the folder.

Click on the 'Share' icon to share your documents with others. This will open the 'Link settings' box. From here you can set who you share your file with and whether or not they can make changes to the file.



NB. If you select 'People in BLACKBURN COLLEGE' to share with, this won't include your tutor as they are on a different network. You would have to choose 'Anyone with the link' or 'Specific people'.
