You can easily share your OneDrive for Business files directly from Outlook Web Access by sending them a link to the document rather than the document itself as detailed above. Using Office 365 with OneDrive for Business allows you to can take much greater control when collaborating on files with people. Hopefully, Microsoft is not far away from rolling that out on desktops. Try doing that with a standard attachment!Īt the moment this option to Share from OneDrive for Business is only available via Outlook Web Access and not via Outlook on the desktop. By default they will be able to edit but you can easily change that to read only if you want. You'll see that you have a menu you can access that allows you to control what access they have to the file in your OneDrive for Business. If you select the option to Share with OneDrive you'll be taken back to the email message and you'll see the file listed below the recipients as shown above. The Send as attachment option will send the whole file as an attachment in the traditional manner. It also means that, down the track, should you wish to rescind access to this file, you can do that. This means that there is only a single copy of the file so that if changes need to be made they can be made on the one file and everyone will have access to make and view these changes. This applies to those inside and outside your organization. The Share with OneDrive option will leave the file in your OneDrive for Business but automatically share it out with everyone addressed in the email.
