Use OneDrive to share files
With OneDrive, it’s easy to share files securely and easily with your friends or coworkers. They won’t need to
install any special programs or sign up for a new account, and they can use any web browser to get to the files
you share with them.
You can use OneDrive to share photos, Office docs, and other files with people. Here's how:
1. Open the OneDrive app and select the files that you want to share. (Swipe down on a file or folder to
select it. Or if you’re using a mouse, right-click it.)
2. Open the Share charm, and then decide how you want to share:
•
Choose Invite People to share the drive with others. You’ll need to p rovide their email
addresses so they can
•
Choose Get a link let people read the files or read and edit the files, or to make the folder
public. You’ll be able to paste the link into any email, document, or post. Or, you can share it
directly to a social media site like Facebook or Twitter.
