All the documents you add to onedrive will be automatically classified as private.

00:00:11

This means that only you, as the owner of the onedrive space,

00:00:15

have access to your documents.

00:00:17

Although sharing is not automatic on onedrive,

00:00:19

it is possible to create and grant access to your document resources.

00:00:24

To do this, click on the three dots present on the documents line.

00:00:27

You can then click on the share button.

00:00:29

The sharing window opens and gives you access to various

00:00:33

sharing features as well as customizable access to your document.

00:00:39

The first thing to check before sharing your document

00:00:42

is to verify whom you want to share it with

00:00:44

here. Four different options are available.

00:00:48

Note that your organisation may disable some options.

00:00:52

The first option.

00:00:53

Anyone is the least secure and the most

00:00:56

likely to be disabled by your administration.

00:00:59

This option allows unrestricted sharing of the

00:01:02

document and even permits further sharing.

00:01:05

However, you can set certain limits by configuring settings here, for example,

00:01:09

by setting an expiration date for viewing the document

00:01:14

or requiring a password for access.

00:01:16

The second option

00:01:18

people in your organisation restricts sharing

00:01:21

to people within your organisation.

00:01:23

The third option

00:01:24

people with existing access allows access to the document

00:01:28

only to those who already have access to it.

00:01:31

If one of your colleagues shares this document,

00:01:34

it cannot be viewed by others who do not have access to it.

00:01:38

Finally, the option

00:01:40

people you choose allows access only to the individuals you specify,

00:01:44

even if others already have access to the item.

00:01:48

In this case, if the link is forwarded,

00:01:50

only people who already have access to the item will be able to use the link.

00:01:55

Once you have made your choice,

00:01:57

simply click the apply button to confirm your selection

00:02:00

and enable the various access levels to the document.

00:02:03

Back on the sharing window, you have two choices.

00:02:07

The option to copy link and paste it on any digital platform,

00:02:11

allowing users to click the link to view the document

00:02:14

or the option to select the names of collaborators,

00:02:17

whether they are internal or external collaborators.

00:02:20

Finally,

00:02:21

you can choose the permissions by clicking the button

00:02:23

to the right of the recipient entry area,

00:02:25

allowing you to specify whether editing is allowed or if the document is view only

00:02:31

click the send button for the selected collaborators to

00:02:34

receive an email with direct access to the document.

00:02:37

As the owner, you can choose to modify or remove sharing rights.

00:02:42

This topic will be covered in another video of the course.
