OneDrive is a cloud storage solution enabling users to save and share documents with others. Nonetheless, granting access to your files to another person requires adherence to certain procedures. This guide will walk you through how to grant permissions in OneDrive.
Step 1: Open OneDrive
To start, open OneDrive on your computer or mobile device. You can access it by going to onedrive.live.com. Once you are logged in, you will see all the files and folders that you have stored in OneDrive.
Step 2: Select the File or Folder to Share
Next, select the file or folder that you want to share with others. You can do this by clicking on the file or folder and then selecting the “Share” button. This will open a new window where you can enter the email addresses of the people you want to share the file or folder with.
Step 3: Set Permissions
In the sharing window, you will see a drop-down menu that allows you to set permissions. You can choose from three options: “Can view,” “Can edit,” and “Can view and edit.” Depending on what you want the person to do with the file or folder, select the appropriate option.
Step 4: Send the Invitation
Once you have set the permissions, click on the “Send” button. This will send an email invitation to the people you have selected. They will receive an email with a link that they can click on to access the file or folder.
Step 5: Manage Permissions
If you want to change the permissions of a shared file or folder, go back to OneDrive and select the “Share” button. This will open the sharing window where you can edit the permissions for each person who has access to the file or folder.
Conclusion
Giving permission in OneDrive is a simple process that allows you to share files and folders with others. By following these steps, you can easily control who has access to your files and what they can do with them.
