How to: Share files using OneDrive for Business on your Mac


Instructions

TIP: These instructions are intended for most users but do not explore every available sharing option. We encourage you to click through the various options and find the settings that most meet your needs.

1) Make sure that the file or document you wish to share is within your OneDrive for Business folder on your Mac, or one of the sub-folders under OneDrive for Business. If not, you will need to move it there.

2) Right-click (secondary click) on the file that you wish to share. Then, click Share from the menu that appears.

NOTE: Be sure to choose the Share option that has the OneDrive for Business blue cloud icon next to it, not the built-in macOS Share option.
