OneDrive makes it very easy and safe for users to create and share files with other people. When a document has been shared to someone, it means you’re giving others access to the exact same file you’re working on. You can easily collaborate on a same document with others without having to keep track of multiple versions.
For those who are non-Microsoft user, they can use any web browser to get to the files you share with them without signing up for a new account. Most importantly, you have all in control – your files will only be shared with people you choose. In this article we’ll show you how to share your files and folders with different groups of people using OneDrive.
