OneDrive waa adeega daruuraha ee Microsoft ee kaydinta iyo wadaaga faylasha. Waxaad kaydin kartaa dukumeentiyada ganacsiga, bandhigyada, sawirada, muqaalada, galkaaga gaarka ah iyo noocyo kale oo badan oo alaab ah. Waxaad ku wadaagi kartaa wax kasta oo ka mid ah OneDrive adigoo isticmaalaya barnaamijka OneDrive ee Windows , iOS, Android iyo wixii la mid ah. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, waxa kale oo aad la wadaagi kartaa shayada degelka OneDrive , biraawsar kasta oo aad rabto in aad isticmaasho. Haddii aad rabto inaad ogaato sida wax loogu wadaago OneDrive , halkan waa sida loo sameeyo:

1. Sida loo wadaago faylasha iyo faylalka OneDrive , laga bilaabo a Windows 10 PC

Wadaagista OneDrive^(OneDrive) gudaha Windows 10 waxay u shaqeysaa si la mid ah iyadoo aan loo eegin haddii aad rabto inaad wadaagto faylasha ama faylalka. Marka hore^(First) , isticmaal File Explorer si aad u furto faylka OneDrive . U gudub^(Navigate) faylasha ama faylalka aad rabto inaad wadaagto oo dooro.

Midig ku dhufo^{(Right-click)} ama taabo oo ku hay alaabta la doortay. Liiska macnaha guud, guji ama taabo Share .

Kadib markaad riixdo Share , daaqad leh dhowr ikhtiyaar oo wadaag ah, sida kan hoose, ayaa soo baxaya.

Waxa ugu horreeya ee aad habayn karto waa in faylasha iyo faylalka la doortay ay tafatirin karaan dadka aad la wadaagayso. Sida caadiga ah, "Qof kasta oo xiriir la leh ayaa wax ka beddeli kara"^{("Anyone with the link can edit")} , taas oo macnaheedu yahay, haddii aad ku sii socoto wadaagga, alaabta waxaa tafatiri kara dadka aad la wadaagto.

Haddii aadan rabin in dadku ay awood u yeeshaan inay wax ka beddelaan faylalka iyo faylalka aad wadaagayso, dhagsii ama taabo "Qof kasta oo xiriir la leh waa wax beddeli karaa"^{("Anyone with the link can edit")} . Kadib, OneDrive wuxuu ku siinayaa fursad aad ku hesho dhawr ikhtiyaar oo wadaag ah, oo ay ku jiraan mid la yiraahdo "Ogolow tafatirka"^{("Allow editing")} . Ka saar "Oggolow tafatirka"^{("Allow editing")} kuwa gelaya alaabtaada waxay arki karaan oo kaliya halkii ay tafatirin lahaayeen.

Labada doorasho ee kale ee waxtarka leh ee halkan ku jira ayaa kuu oggolaanaya inaad dejiso taariikhda dhicitaanka iyo erayga sirta ah ee shayada aad wadaagayso. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, ogow in labadan doorasho ay diyaar u yihiin kaliya macaamiisha OneDrive ama Microsoft 365 qorshooyinka lacag bixinta. Looma hayo isticmaalayaasha qorshaha aasaasiga ah ee OneDrive ee bilaashka ah .

Si aad u dejiso taariikhda uu dhacayo,guji ama taabo "Set expiration date" kadib dooro taariikhda ilaa aad rabto in saamigu ansax noqdo. Faahfaahin dheeraad ah oo ku saabsan sida tani u shaqeyso, akhri sida looga wadaago OneDrive iyadoo la adeegsanayo isku xirka ku meel gaadhka ah, gudaha Windows, Android ama browserka shabakada^{(How to share from OneDrive using temporary links, in Windows, Android or a web browser)} .

Si aad u dejiso furaha sirta ah ee alaabta la wadaago, guji ama taabo "Set password" oo ku qor erayga sirta ah ee aad rabto inaad isticmaasho. Xusuusnow^(Remember) inaad u sheegto furaha sirta ah dadka aad la wadaagayso faylasha iyo faylalka.

Markaad wax walba u dejiso sidaad rabtay, taabo Codso^(Apply) .

Talaabada xigta waa inaad dooratid sida aad rabto inaad u wadaagto alaabta la doortay. Waxaa jira dhowr siyaabood oo taas loo sameeyo. Sida ugu horeysa waa in la qeexo dadka lala wadaagayo alaabta si toos ah. Meesha "Enter a name or email" , bilow inaad ku qorto magaca ama ciwaanka iimaylka qof aad rabto inaad geliso faylashaada.

Haddii isaga ama iyada laga helo dadka aad la xidhiidho, dhagsii ama taabo ciwaankiisa imaylkeeda. Haddii kale, ku qor emailka buuxa oo taabo Gelida^(Enter) kumbuyuutarkaaga. Ogsoonow inaad ku celin karto habkan ilaa aad ku darto dhammaan qaataha alaabta la wadaago.

Haddii aad rabto, waxaad sidoo kale "Ku dar fariin"^{("Add a message")} kuwa qaata faylashaada iyo galka, laakiin taasi waa ikhtiyaari.

Dabadeed, dhagsii ama taabo dir^(Send) oo OneDrive isla markiiba waxay u gudbisaa fariimaha iimaylka ee xidhiidhka shayada la wadaago dhammaan dadka aad hore u sheegtay.

Waxa kale oo aad wadaagi kartaa adiga oo isticmaalaya xidhiidh aad koobi karto oo ku dhejin karto meel kasta oo aad rabto: e-mail, fariin Facebook , Skype , iwm. Si taas loo sameeyo, guji ama taabo "Copy link" .

OneDrive wuxuu abuuraa isku xirka u horseedaya faylalka iyo faylalka la wadaago. Riix badhanka nuqulka^(Copy) , oo xiriirinta waxaa lagu koobiyeeyay sabuuradda^{(copied to the clipboard)} . Kadibna waxaad ku paste (Ctrl+ V) isku xirka meel kasta oo aad rabto.

Waxa kale oo jira hab saddexaad oo lagu wadaago walxaha OneDrive kaaga . Halkii aad isticmaali lahayd ciwaannada iimaylka ama koobiyaynta isku xidhka uu sameeyay OneDrive , daaqada alaabta Share^{(Share items)} , waxaad gujin kartaa ama taabo Apps ka badan^{(More Apps)} .

Tani waa faa'iido haddii aad rabto inaad la wadaagto alaabta la doortay iyada oo loo marayo siyaabo kale oo laga heli karo Windows 10 , sida isticmaalka Bluetooth , Wi-Fi , ama apps laga heli karo PC gaaga. Si aad u barato sida habkani u shaqeeyo, akhri hagahan: 7 siyaabood oo loo wadaago faylasha iyo faylalka File Explorer^{(7 ways to share files and folders from File Explorer)} .

Waa kaas. Iyadoo aan loo eegin^(Regardless) sida aad u dooratay inaad u wadaagto faylasha ama galka OneDrive , dadka helay xidhiidhka iyaga hadda way geli karaan.

2. Sida loo wadaago faylalka iyo faylalka OneDrive iyadoo la adeegsanayo talefanka casriga ah ee Android ama tablet -ka

OneDrive waxa uu bixiyaa abka Android aad u wanaagsan , kaas oo aanad isticmaali karin oo kaliya inaad geliso oo geliso faylashaada iyo faylalkaaga daruuraha, laakiin sidoo kale inaad la wadaagto kuwa kale. Haddii aad rabto inaad la wadaagto walxaha OneDrive kaaga , fur app-ka casrigaaga ama tablet-kaaga, u gudub faylashaas iyo/ama faylalkaas, oo dooro. Si taas loo sameeyo, taabo oo xaji.

Kadib markaad doorato alaabta, ku dhufo badhanka Share dhinaca sare ee shaashadda.

Tani waxay soo baxaysaa wada hadal la yiraahdo Share sida kan hoose.

Marka hore^(First) , dooro in dadka aad la wadaagayso shayada "Can Edit" ama "Can View" iyaga. Haddii aad doorato tan dambe, faylasha iyo faylalka aad wadaagto qofna ma beddeli karo adiga mooyee.

Haddii aad tahay macaamiil Microsoft 365 , waxa kale oo aad samayn kartaa wakhtiga inta alaabta la wadaagayo. Si taas loo sameeyo, taabo "Set Expiration" . Faahfaahin dheeraad ah oo ku saabsan sifadan, akhri tilmaan-bixiyahan: Sida looga wadaago OneDrive addoo isticmaalaya isku-xidhaha ku-meel-gaadhka ah, gudaha Windows, Android ama browserka shabakadda^{(How to share from OneDrive using temporary links, in Windows, Android or a web browser)} .

Marka aad habayntii hore ku hagaajisay sidaad jeceshahay, waa markii aad runtii wadaagi lahayd faylalka iyo faylalka la doortay. Habka ugu horeeya ee aad taas ku samayn karto waa adigoo taabsiinaya badhanka "Copy link" . Tani waxay abuurtaa isku xirka alaabta, ka dib waxaad ku dhejin kartaa email kasta, fariin^(SMS) qoraal ah oo SMS ah, qolka sheekaysiga WhatsApp , iwm.

Hab kale oo lagu wadaago faylasha iyo faylalka adoo isticmaalaya OneDrive gudaha Android waa iyada oo dadka lagu martiqaado inay galaan. Si taas loo sameeyo, taabo badhanka "Dadka ku martiqaad" .^{("Invite people")}

Kadib, waxaad ku qori kartaa ciwaanka iimaylka ee dadka aad rabto inaad la wadaagto alaabta. Si loo fududeeyo, waxaad u ogolaan kartaa OneDrive "muuji soo jeedinta xiriirada qalabkan"^{("Show suggestions from contacts on this device")} . Haddii aad ogolaato, waxay geli kartaa xiriirada taleefankaaga oo waxay raadin kartaa dadka markaad magacyadooda ku qorto goobta "Ku dar iimaylka si aad wax ula wadaagto"^{("Add email to share with")} .

Haddii aad dooratid inaad karti u yeelatid raadinta xiriirada taleefankaaga, Android waxay ku weydiineysaa "U ogolow OneDrive inuu galo xiriiradaada"^{("Allow OneDrive to access your contacts")} . Taabo Oggolow^(Allow) haddii aad rabto in sifadani ku shaqeyso.

Marka aad ku darto dhammaan dadka aad la wadaagto alaabtaada, waxaad gelaysaa goobo kale oo dhawr ah. Waxaad mar labaad dooran kartaa haddii aad rabto in aad "Oggolow tafatirka"^{("Allow editing")} faylasha iyo faylalka aad wadaagto, "Waxay u baahan yihiin soo gal si aad u gasho"^{("Require sign-in to access")} (dadka aad la wadaagto alaabta waa inay galaan akoonadooda Microsoft^(Microsoft) si ay u galaan), iyo "Ku dar qoraal degdeg ah"^{("Add a quick note")} (fariin gaaban oo aad u diri karto dadka aad ku casuuntay inay galaan faylashaada iyo/ama galkaaga). Markaad dhammayso, ku dhufo batoonka Send ka dhanka sare ee midig ee shaashadda.

Habka saddexaad ee lagu wadaago walxaha OneDrive kaaga waa Outlook . Haddii aad taabto badhankan, OneDrive waxa uu furayaa barnaamijka Outlook ee qalabkaaga Android oo uu si toos ah u abuuraa fariin ka kooban xidhiidhka faylalka iyo faylalka la wadaago. Waxaad markaa u diri kartaa qof kasta oo aad rabto inaad siiso gelitaanka faylasha iyo faylalka aad ka dooratay OneDrive kaaga . Ogsoonow, haddii aadan haysan barnaamijka Outlook ee aaladdaada, taabashada badhanka waxay ku geynaysaa Play Store^{(Play Store)} si aad ugu rakibto.

Ugu dambeyntii, habka ugu dambeeya ee lagu wadaago faylasha iyo faylalka OneDrive kaaga waa adiga oo isticmaalaya abka iyo sifooyinka laga heli karo qalabkaaga Android . Ka soo dhaqaaq dhanka hoose ee shaashadda si aad u wada aragto.

Ikhtiyaarada aad halkan ku helayso waxay ku xidhan yihiin abka aad rakibtay iyo waxa uu leeyahay qalabkaaga Android . Si kastaba ha ahaatee, iyada oo aan loo eegin midka aad doorato inaad isticmaasho, dhamaantood waxay ku shaqeeyaan si toos ah u abuurista isku xirka wadaagga kaas oo loo diro dadka kale isticmaalaya app ama qaabka aad taabatay.

3. Sida loo wadaago faylasha iyo faylalka OneDrive iyadoo la isticmaalayo iPhone ama iPad

Ka fur barnaamijka OneDrive ee iPhone ama iPadkaaga. U gudub^(Navigate) shayada aad rabto inaad wadaagto, oo dooro. Taas waxaad ku samayn kartaa adigoo taabsiinaya oo xajinaya faylasha iyo/ama faylalka aad rabto inaad wadaagto. Kadib, ku dhufo badhanka Share ka dhanka midig ee sare ee shaashadda.

Tani waxay kuu furaysaa soo baxay ficilo aad samayn karto, sida sawirka hoose.

Waxaad helaysaa ikhtiyaaro taxane ah oo aad ku wadaagayso faylalka iyo galka adiga oo isticmaalaya astaamo ama abka sida AirDrop, Messages, ama Boostada^(Mail) . Haddii aadan rabin inaad wax ka beddesho habka alaabta loo wadaago, ku dhufo abka ama astaanta aad rabto inaad isticmaasho. Taasi waxay isla markiiba abuurtaa isku xidhka alaabtaada, kaas oo aad ku diri karto addoo isticmaalaya abka ama qaabka aad dooratay. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, ogow in, asal ahaan, alaabta la wadaago ay tafatirin karaan dadka galaangal u leh iyaga, kuwaas oo laga yaabo inaadan rabin.

Haddii aad rabto inaad wadaagto faylasha iyo faylalka la doortay si dadka gelaya ay u arki karaan oo keliya, u jiid hawlaha kor u kaca, oo taabo "View Only" .

Haddii aad ka diiwaan gashan tahay Microsoft 365 , waxaad sidoo kale dejin kartaa taariikhda dhicitaanka alaabta la wadaago. Taas awgeed, taabo Link Settings oo dooro ilaa inta alaabta la wadaagayo.

Haddii aadan rabin inaad wadaagto faylasha iyo faylalka la doortay adigoo isticmaalaya mid ka mid ah abka ama astaamaha lagu muujiyey bilowga guddida hawlaha, waxaad isticmaali kartaa ikhtiyaarka "Copy Link" . Tani waxay si toos ah u abuureysaa isku xirka walxaha laga soo xushay OneDrive kaaga , ka dib waxaad ku dhejin kartaa meel kasta oo aad rabto: fariin qoraal ah, iimaylka, xitaa bogga internetka.

Ikhtiyaar kale oo lagu wadaagayo faylasha iyo/ama galka OneDrive^(OneDrive) kaaga si fudud waa "Email in Outlook" . Taabashadu waxay si toos ah u fureysaa barnaamijka Muuqaalka^(Outlook) ee iPhone ama iPad-kaaga, waxayna abuurtaa fariin iimayl ah oo leh isku xirka walxaha OneDrive ee aad dooratay. ^(OneDrive)Si kastaba ha noqotee, haddii aadan isticmaalin Outlook ama aadan haysan app-ka lagu rakibay, doorashada doorashadan waxay OneDrive ka dhigaysaa inuu furo Store Store^{(App Store)} si aad ugu rakibto Outlook iPhone-kaaga ama iPad-kaaga.

Habka kale ee loo wadaago faylasha ama galka OneDrive kaaga waa "Dadka ku casuun"^{("Invite People")} .

Tani waxay furaysaa guddi cusub oo aad ka qori karto ciwaannada iimaylka ama aad dooran karto xiriirada aad rabto inaad la wadaagto faylasha iyo/ama galka.

Si aad dadka uga doorato xiriiradaada, taabo + plus .

Dabadeed, billow in aad ku qorto magaca qofka oo, marka aad hesho isaga ama iyada, ku dhufo magaciisa/ magaceeda.

Haddii aad rabto inaad dad badan ku darto, ku celi habka. Kadib, dooro Ikhtiyaarada^(Options) aad door bidayso: "Ogolow tafatirka"^{("Allow editing")} (dadku way bedeli karaan faylashaada iyo faylalkaaga) , "Waxay u baahan yihiin saxiix si ay u galaan"^{(, "Require sign-in to access")} (dadku waxay u baahan yihiin inay ku soo galaan akoonadooda Microsoft^{(Microsoft accounts)} ka hor intaysan helin alaabtaada), iyo " Ku dar Dhiirrigelinta"^{("Add Expiration")} (wuxuu dejiyaa waqtiga inta alaabta la wadaagayo; doorashadan ayaa la heli karaa oo keliya haddii aad tahay macaamiil Microsoft 365 ).

Markaad dhammayso, ku dhufo batoonka Ku dar^(Add) dhinaca midig ee shaashadda, alaabtaadana waxaa lala wadaagayaa dadka aad sheegtay.

Taasi waa ta: kuwani waxay ahaayeen siyaabaha aad ku wadaagi karto faylasha iyo/ama galka adigoo isticmaalaya barnaamijka OneDrive ee iOS.

4. Sida loo wadaago faylalka iyo faylalka OneDrive iyadoo la isticmaalayo browser-ka

Waxa kale oo aad la wadaagi kartaa faylasha iyo faylalka OneDrive kaaga adiga oo isticmaalaya shabakada OneDrive^{(OneDrive website)} . Soo gal, u gudub faylasha iyo/ama galka aad rabto inaad wadaagto, oo dooro. Waxaad taas ku samayn kartaa adiga oo ku dhaqaajiya cursorka jiirka magacyadooda korkiisa oo aad saxdo sanduuqyada ka muuqda geesahooda midig ee sare (ee tile view) ama bidixda magacooda (ee liiska). Kadibna, dhagsii ama taabo Share -garee dhanka sare ee bogga.

Kadib markaad riixdo Share , daaqad cusub ayaa soo baxaysa oo leh dhawr ikhtiyaar oo wadaag ah. Sida caadiga ah, "Qof kasta oo leh xiriiriyaha ayaa wax ka beddeli kara"^{("Anyone with the link can edit")} faylasha iyo/ama galka la wadaago. Tani waxay ka dhigan tahay, haddii aad ku sii socoto wadaagga, alaabta waxaa tafatiri kara dadka aad la wadaagto.

Haddii aad tan ku fiican tahay, waad sii wadi kartaa oo geli kartaa magacyada ama ciwaannada iimaylka dadka aad rabto inaad siiso gelitaanka alaabtaada, waxaad sidoo kale kartaa "Ku dar fariin,"^{("Add a message,")} laakiin taasi waa ikhtiyaari. Kadib, taabo badhanka Send oo dadka aad dooratay waa inay helaan fariin iimayl ah oo leh xidhiidhka alaabtaada OneDrive .

Haddii kale, waxaad gujin kartaa/ku dhufan kartaa "Copy Link" xagga hoose ee sanduuqa wada hadalka. Taasi waxay gelinaysaa isku xirka faylasha iyo/ama faylalka la doortay ee ku jira kilib-boodhkaaga, oo aad ku dhejin karto meel kasta oo aad rabto: fariin email ah, fariin qoraal ah, bogga internetka, iwm.

Haddii aadan rabin in qof kasta oo xiriir la leh uu awood u yeesho inuu wax ka beddelo faylalkaaga iyo/ama faylalkaaga la wadaago, dhagsii ama taabo "Qof kasta oo leh xiriirinta ayaa wax ka beddeli kara"^{("Anyone with the link can edit")} .

Kahor intaadan xirin casharkan, waxaan aad u xiisaynaa inaan ogaano waxaad OneDrive kula wadaagto dadka kale: Ma dukumeenti shaqo? Ma sawirada asxaabtaada iyo qoyskaaga?

4 ways to share files and folders from OneDrive

OneDrive is Microsoft's cloud service for storing and sharing files. You can store business documents, presentations, pictures, videos, your personal folders and many other types of items. You can share anything from OneDrive using the OneDrive app for Windows, iOS, Android and so on. However, you can also share stuff from the OneDrive website, in any web browser that you want to use. If you want to know how to share something on OneDrive, here's how it is done:

1. How to share files and folders from OneDrive, from a Windows 10 PC

OneDrive sharing in Windows 10 works the same way regardless of whether you want to share files or folders. First of all, use File Explorer to open your OneDrive folder. Navigate to the files or folders that you want to share and select them.

Right-click or press and hold on the selected items. In the contextual menu, click or tap on Share.

After you press Share, a window with several sharing options, like the one illustrated below, shows up.

The first thing you can configure is whether the selected files and folders can be edited by the people with whom you're sharing them. By default, "Anyone with the link can edit", which means that, if you go ahead with the sharing, the items can be edited by the people you are sharing with.

If you don't want people to be able to edit the files and folders that you are sharing, click or tap on "Anyone with the link can edit". Then, OneDrive gives you access to a few sharing options, including one called "Allow editing". Uncheck "Allow editing" and those who access your items can only view them instead of editing them.

The other two useful options that are present here let you set an expiration date and a password for the items you're sharing. However, know that these two options are available only for the subscribers to OneDrive or Microsoft 365 paid plans. They're not available for users of the free basic plan of OneDrive.

To set an expiration date, click or tap on "Set expiration date" and then select the date until when you want the share to be valid. For more details on how this works, read How to share from OneDrive using temporary links, in Windows, Android or a web browser.

To set a password for the shared items, click or tap on "Set password" and type the password you want to use. Remember to tell the password to the people with whom you are sharing the files and folders.

Once you've set everything as you wanted, press Apply.

The next step is to choose how you want to share the selected items. There are several ways to do that. The first way is to specify the people with whom to share the items directly. In the "Enter a name or email" field, start typing the name or the email address of someone you want to give access to your files.

If he or she is found in your contacts, click or tap on his or her email address. Otherwise, type the full email address and press Enter on your keyboard. Note that you can repeat this process until you've added all the recipients of the shared items.

If you want, you can also "Add a message" for the recipients of your files and folders, but that is optional.

Then, click or tap Send and OneDrive immediately transmits email messages with the link to the shared items to all the people you've specified earlier.

You can also share using a link which you can copy and paste anywhere you wish: e-mail, a message on Facebook, Skype, etc. To do that, click or tap "Copy link".

OneDrive generates a link that leads to the shared files and folders. Push the Copy button, and the link is copied to the clipboard. You can then paste (Ctrl+ V) that link anywhere you wish.

There's also a third way of sharing items from your OneDrive. Instead of using email addresses or copying the link generated by OneDrive, in the Share items window, you can click or tap on More Apps.

This is useful if you want to share the selected items through other means available in Windows 10, like using Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or apps available on your PC. To learn how this feature works, read this guide: 7 ways to share files and folders from File Explorer.

That's it. Regardless of how you chose to share files or folders from your OneDrive, the people who received the link to them can now access them.

2. How to share files and folders from OneDrive using an Android smartphone or tablet

OneDrive offers an excellent Android app, which you can use not only to upload and access your files and folders in the cloud, but also to share them with others. If you want to share items from your OneDrive, open the app on your smartphone or tablet, navigate to those files and/or folders, and select them. To do that, tap and hold on them.

After you've selected the items, tap the Share button from the top side of the screen.

This pops up a dialog called Share like the one below.

First of all, choose whether the people with whom you're sharing the items "Can Edit" or "Can View" them. If you choose the latter, the files and folders you share can't be changed by anyone but yourself.

If you're a subscriber to Microsoft 365, you can also set the time for how long the items are shared. To do that, tap "Set Expiration". For more details about this feature, read this guide: How to share from OneDrive using temporary links, in Windows, Android or a web browser.

Once you've adjusted the previous settings to your liking, it's time to actually share the selected files and folders. The first way in which you can do that is by tapping the "Copy link" button. This creates a link to the items, which you can then paste in any email, SMS text message, WhatsApp chat room, etc.

Another way to share files and folders using OneDrive in Android is by inviting people to access them. To do that, tap the "Invite people" button.

Then, you can type the email addresses of the people you want to share the items with. To make it easier, you can let OneDrive "Show suggestions from contacts on this device". If you let it, it can access your phone contacts and search for people as you type their names in the "Add email to share with" field.

If you choose to enable the contacts search on your phone, Android asks you to "Allow OneDrive to access your contacts". Tap Allow if you want this feature to work.

Once you've added all the people to share your items with, you get access to a few other settings. You can choose again if you want to "Allow editing" of the files and folders you share, "Require sign-in to access" (the persons with whom you're sharing items must sign in to their Microsoft accounts to access them), and "Add a quick note" (a short message that you can send to the people who you invite to access your files and/or folders). When you're done, tap the Send button from the top-right corner of the screen.

A third method to share items from your OneDrive is via Outlook. If you tap this button, OneDrive opens the Outlook app on your Android device and automatically creates a message that contains the link to the shared files and folders. You can then send it to anyone you want to give access to the files and folders that you've selected from your OneDrive. Note that, if you don't have the Outlook app on your device, tapping this button takes you to the Play Store to install it.

Finally, the last method to share the files and folders from your OneDrive is by using some of the apps and features available on your Android device. Slide from the bottom of the screen to see them all.

The options you get here depend on what apps you have installed and what features your Android device has. However, regardless of which you choose to use, they all work by automatically creating a sharing link which is sent to other people using the app or feature that you've tapped on.

3. How to share files and folders from OneDrive using an iPhone or iPad

Open the OneDrive app on your iPhone or iPad. Navigate to the items you want to share, and select them. You can do that by tapping and holding on the files and/or folders you want to share. Then, tap the Share button from the top-right corner of the screen.

This opens a popup with actions you can take, like in the screenshot below.

You get a series of options to share the files and folders using features or apps such as AirDrop, Messages, or Mail. If you don't want to adjust any settings on how the items are shared, tap the app or feature that you want to use. That instantly creates a link to your items, which you can send using the app or feature you've selected. However, know that, by default, the shared items can be edited by the people who get access to them, which you might not want.

If you want to share the selected files and folders so that the people who get access to them can only view them, drag the activities pane upwards, and tap on "View Only".

If you are subscribed to Microsoft 365, you can also set an expiration date for the shared items. For that, tap Link Settings and choose for how long the items are shared.

If you don't want to share the files and folders selected using any of the apps or features shown at the beginning of the activities panel, you can use the "Copy Link" option. This automatically creates a link to the selected items from your OneDrive, which you can then paste anywhere you want: in a text message, an email, even on a website.

Another option to share files and/or folders from your OneDrive easily is "Email in Outlook". Tapping this option automatically opens the Outlook app on your iPhone or iPad, and creates an email message with the link to your selected OneDrive items. However, if you do not use Outlook or you don't have the app installed, choosing this option makes OneDrive open the App Store so that you install Outlook on your iPhone or iPad.

Another way of sharing files or folders from your OneDrive is to "Invite People".

This opens a new panel from which you can type email addresses or select the contacts with whom you want to share the files and/or folders.

To select people from your contacts, tap + plus.

Then, start typing the name of the person and, when you find him or her, tap on his/her name.

If you want to add more people, repeat the process. Then, select the Options you prefer: "Allow editing" (people can change your files and folders), "Require sign-in to access" (people need to sign in with their Microsoft accounts before getting access to your items), and "Add Expiration" (sets the time for how long the items are shared; this option is available only if you are a subscriber to Microsoft 365).

When you're done, tap the Add button from the top-right corner of the screen, and your items are shared with the people you specified.

That's it: these were the ways in which you can share files and/or folders using the OneDrive app for iOS.

4. How to share files and folders from OneDrive using a web browser

You can also share files and folders from your OneDrive using the OneDrive website. Sign in, navigate to the files and/or folders that you want to share, and select them. You can do that by moving the mouse cursor on top of their names and checking the boxes shown on their top-right corners (in tile view) or the left of their name (in list view). Then, click or tap Share on the toolbar from the top of the page.

After you press Share, a new window is shown with several sharing options. By default, "Anyone with the link can edit" the shared files and/or folders. This means that, if you go ahead with the sharing, the items can be edited by the people you are sharing with.

If you are OK with this, you can go ahead and enter the names or email addresses of the people to whom you want to give access to your items, and you can also "Add a message," but that's optional. Then, press the Send button and the people you've chosen should receive an email message with the link to your OneDrive items.

Alternatively, you can click/tap on "Copy Link" at the bottom of the dialog box. That puts a link to the selected files and/or folders in your clipboard, which you can then paste anywhere you like: in an email message, in a text message, on a website, etc.

If you don't want everyone who has the link to be able to edit your shared files and/or folders, click or tap on "Anyone with the link can edit".

Then, you can uncheck the "Allow editing" box so that the link generated by OneDrive doesn't give editing access to your shared files and/or folders. This way, they can only view your items, but they can't change them.

Additionally, if you're a Microsoft 365 subscriber, you can also "Set [an] expiration date" and "Set [a] password" for the shared items.

After you've changed these settings as you wanted, press the Apply button.

This takes you back to the sharing popup which we've shown at the beginning of this section.

What is your favorite OneDrive sharing method?

We, at Digital Citizen, use OneDrive on a daily basis, and we also share documents, pictures, folders and all kinds of files. We do it both for work and for fun, depending on the context. Before closing this tutorial, we are curious to know what you share on OneDrive with others: Is it work documents? Are they pictures of your friends and family?
