Issue/Question
How do I share a large folder/file with a Macomb email address?
Environment
Additional Details
By default when sharing, people are allowed to edit the folder and/or files. If you do not want that level of access you will need to change the permissions when you create the link. Otherwise, you cannot change it. You will need to create a new link. At the bottom of the article, you will see the instructions on how to set the permissions.
Resolution
- Navigate to One Drive.
- Log in using your Macomb network credentials (Use your full email address).
- Run your mouse over the file or folder you want to share. The radio button will appear to the left. Click the radio button next to the folder or file.
- This will bring up your options in the menu bar along the top.
- You can also select the 3 vertical dots next to the name of the folder or file for the actions.
- Select Share.
- Enter the Macomb email address and an optional message.
Note: By default, the email address would be able to edit the file and/or folder. To change rights follow the instructions below.
- Select People in Macomb Community College with this link can edit.
- Macomb employees should already be checked. Under the header Other Settings, Uncheck Allow Editing.
- Click Apply.
- On the previous menu, select Send. This will send them an email with the link to the file/folder.
- You will get pop-up that confirms the link has been sent.
