Step 1: Sign in and Navigate to your Files

To begin sharing files on OneDrive, you first need to sign in to your account. Open a web browser and go to the OneDrive website. Enter your login credentials and click “Sign In”. Once signed in, you will be taken to the main dashboard where all your files are stored. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the layout and navigation options.

Step 2: Select the File(s) You Want to Share

Once you are on the main dashboard, locate the file or folder that you want to share. If it’s a single file, simply click on it once. If it’s a folder containing multiple files, click on the folder icon once. You can select multiple files by holding down the Ctrl key while clicking on each file.

Step 3: Click on the “Share” Button

After selecting the file(s) or folder(s) you want to share, look for the “Share” button at the top of the screen. It should be located in the toolbar or menu options. Clicking on this button will open up a sharing panel where you can customize various sharing settings.

Step 4: Choose Sharing Options

In the sharing panel, you will see several options for how you want to share your selected file(s) or folder(s). You can choose whether recipients can only view the file(s) or if they can also edit or comment on them. You can also decide whether to allow recipients to reshare the file(s) with others. Additionally, you have the option to set an expiration date for the sharing link, after which it will no longer be accessible.

Step 5: Share the File(s)

Once you have customized your sharing settings, it’s time to share the file(s). You can do this by entering the email addresses of the individuals you want to share with in the designated field. If you want to share with multiple people, separate their email addresses with commas. Alternatively, you can copy and paste the sharing link and send it via email or any other messaging platform.
