4 How to Share a file with One Drive You may wish to share a file on OneDrive with other Students or Staff members. You can do this if you wish to share a file type that can t be submitted via TurnItIn, or if you wish to allow multiple users to edit a single document. To share a file select the file in your OneDrive and click the Share button In the next screen you will have 2 options: Invite people or Get a link Using Invite People should be the default way of sharing documents as this will restrict access to those people you invite. Sending a link is quick and easy, but if the link is shared security is compromised. See the next pages for specific instructions for each method. 4 P a g e I n f o r m a t i o n S e r v i c e s v e r s i o n 2. 0

5 Sharing: Invite a Person Click Invite a person. This takes you to a page where you can compose an invitation to other students and staff.

6 Sharing: Invite a Person You can share a document with as many people as you like at the same time. Once you have added all the recipients to the text box take a moment to make sure the permissions you set are correct. Once you re ready click the Share button highlighted above. The default permissions is Can Edit, but you can change this to Can View if you do not want the other users to be able to make changes. Every recipient in the will have the same permissions, but you can send multiple s if you wish to give one group Edit and another group View permissions. Sharing: Get a Link Getting a link allows you to quickly and easily share your document with others. However a link is less secure than an invite if you give the link to someone and they pass it on, the third party now has access to your document with the same permissions as the person you intended to share with. To get a link: Click Get a Link on the left of the Share Window Use the first drop down to set the permissions you wish to associate to the link Press the Copy button to put the link on your clip board You can then use the link by using the keyboard shortcut ctrl+v or by choosing Paste from the Edit menu in any software application. 5 P a g e I n f o r m a t i o n S e r v i c e s v e r s i o n 2. 0
