Onedrive - Folder Share Options Part 02

11 September 2023

In today's article we will continue the description of the options for sharing a folder in onedrive In the previous article we dealt exclusively and only with the share option and all the pop-up windows from the options that arise when you select share from the 3 dots next to the title of a folder Today we continue with the second option which is or request files for this folder .In this option in the popup window we have to enter a description that will go to the recipients when inviting them to share this folder

As you can see there is the option in the next pop up window to select the user or group and where it says message to insert your message to those users .You are also given the option to copy and paste the link

and as you can see if the procedure is done correctly you will see a popup window that will inform you that your request has been sent

As for the next option which is manage access it is similar to the above where you can check initially one of the 3 options People, Groups and Links In people you can see the users who have access and the type of permissions

while in groups there are no users and you can add groups from the share with groups option

In the next option as shown we have the link in which anyone who has the link can upload archives while in the second option they can simply use the link to view existing archives

In the next pop up window is the grand access option and there of course is the section where we can grant permissions to this particular folder

and here of course I have the option to choose to view or view and edit only

As for the next option which is manage access it is similar to the above where you can check initially one of the 3 options People, Groups and Links In people you can see the users who have access and the type of permissions

and as you can see in the following screen I add the user and at the same time I can insert a message to the user as in the first article

The advanced settings of the home tab of manage access are under the 3 dots on the top right of the popup window

and there as you can see there is a redirect to a page which as you can see reminds you of the SharePoint pages when you are about to assign permissions and they have exactly the same functions as SharePoint

So you can use the grand permission to open the known window and enter the name of the user or group as well as the type of permissions you want . You can alternatively create custom permission levels and use them here with more complex procedures .

Of course you can also choose whether you want to send mail to each user during the introduction

and of course as I said it also has an expirational date that you can add .As you can finally see the options are the same but can be done in more than one way .
