The most important difference: The Share dialog box lets you select “Everyone except external users.” If your organization allows external sharing, sharing with “Everyone” includes external users: people outside of your organization who have previously been invited to share documents as guests, either by you or by others in your organization.Įveryone gets permission to edit documents that you put in the Shared with Everyone folder, unless you change the permission setting or unless your OneDrive for Business was created before June 2014. Just drag a document into your “Shared with Everyone” folder, or create new documents in this folder, and you’re done. What’s the difference? Using the “Shared with Everyone” folder is quick and simple. NOTE If you’re sharing a document in a team site library, this is the only option for sharing with everyone. Follow the same procedure described above for share a document or folder, but type Everyone in the Invite People box. Place documents in your “Shared with Everyone” folder. In OneDrive for Business, there are two ways to share a document with everyone: How do I share a document with "everyone”? How do I stop sharing a document or folder? How do I see who I’m sharing a document or folder with? How do people find documents or folders I’ve shared with everyone? How do I share a document or folder with “everyone”? If you don’t want to send an email, click Show Options, and then uncheck Send an email invitation. The email includes a link to the shared document. If you want, type a message to be included with an email that’s sent to all invitees. In the Share dialog box on the Invite People tab, type names or email addresses of people you want to share the document or folder with. Select the file you want to share, and then select Share. Go to OneDrive for Business or the site library that has the document or folder you want to share. For details, see Share sites or documents with people outside your organization. NOTE You may also be able share documents with external users (people not on your network) by inviting them as “Guests,” or by creating and posting guest links. When you share documents and folders, you can decide whether to let people edit or just view them. Similarly, in a team site library, you may want to share specific documents or folders with people who don’t otherwise have access to the site. The documents and folders you store in OneDrive for Business are private until you decide to share them. Share documents or folders in OneDrive for Business
