This screen will pop up:
-
Click the options menu that says "People you specify can edit" to modify your sharing method, this screen will appear:
-
Select how you would like to share the file:
- "Anyone with the link": THIS OPTION IS NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE ON THE ST. JOHN'S ONEDRIVE.
- "People in St. John's University with the link": the link will not work for a NON-St. John's University email address. But, anyone with an SJU email address will be able to access a link with this level of access.
- "People with existing access": same as "People in St. John's University with the link", except the link will only work for users who already have access to this folder via a higher-level folder.
- "Specific People": only the users who you select. This can be a non-St. John's email that is currently saved in your address book, or they must have a St. John's email address. **PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS THE ONLY OPTION TO SHARE WITH SOMEONE THAT DOES NOT HAVE AN SJU EMAIL ADDRESS.
- "Allow editing": check the box if you want those with access to be able to make changes to the file. Unchecking the box will make it “view only”.
- Once you choose your sharing option, click "Apply", then enter the user’s email addresses, and click "Send".
