How to Share Documents From OneDrive or SharePoint Through File Explorer

For Windows users, you can share files/folders to users inside your organization through OneDrive on your desktop. You will need to have OneDrive setup in order to do this process.

NOTE: 

• The documents must live within OneDrive or SharePoint in order to share. This is indicated by the blue icon next to Share (refer to step 2)
• These steps also apply to SharePoint sites that are synced to your OneDrive. You will need the proper permissions on the SharePoint site as well.
• For sharing files outside the organization, you will need special permissions if you have not been granted access. Create a ticket to request for permissions.

Follow these steps to share files through OneDrive:

1. Navigate to the file/folder you want to share
   
2. Right-click the file/folder and click Share (note the blue cloud icon)
   
3. Click here to change the how you want to share the link
   
4. Select the following settings that best suit your needs, then check the box if you'd like to allow them to edit the contents of the document, and finally click Apply:
   1. Anyone with the link - Anyone inside or outside the organization can access this (This is not selectable by default for security reasons)
   2. People in Wiley X, Inc. with the link - Those within the organization can access this
   3. People with existing access - Those who've had access before but lost the link
   4. Specific people - Certain people you list can access this. These can be people outside the organization
      
      
5. Enter in the Name, group or email of the person you'd like to send the link too
   
6. In this example, a link is being shared specifically to Test User 3 with edit permission. Once you see the name/email in the drop down menu, click on it
   
7. Lastly, you can write a message to the user. Click Send to email them a link or you can copy the link by following step 9
   
8. Done! The recipient will receive an email with a link to the file/folder
   
9. Alternatively, you can copy a link to send through Outlook or Teams by clicking on Copy link instead of Send
   
10. This will generate a link for you to copy
    
11. When the recipient receives the link, they will need to enter in their email address to gain access to the document. From their, have them follow the remaining steps to complete access
