Key notes
Want to share files and folders with your teammates? You can share OneDrive with another user for easiercollaboration when working on digital platforms.
Since OneDrive comes integrated into File Explorer by default, it’s a great way to collaborate with colleagues or share files with friends and family.
Let’s talk about how users can add files to shared folders and find everything in one place for a specific project.
Can I give another user access to my OneDrive?
Yes, you can share OneDrive with another user. There are various methods of doing so depending on the type of account.
You can share access via a link with anonymous users, or you can email the link to share access with specific users. So, let’s find out how to share OneDrive access with another user for personal accounts only.
How do I share OneDrive with another user?
1. Via OneDrive web app
Allowing anyone with a link to access files and folders is not a safe option. This option allows anyone with a link to share the files further. That is why it is best to share access with specific people.
However, this is an easy way to share files with a large group of people simultaneously.
2. Use File Explorer
Sharing OneDrive access with another user from Windows Explorer becomes smooth if you have it insync with your system.
It is easy to streamline the workflow as a team when you share OneDrive access. OneDrive is secured and cloud-based, so all your colleagues can access documents remotely once you share them.
