How do I share a OneDrive file so that anyone with the link can view the file?

UpdatedMay 18, 2023
Info

You should already be logged in to OneDrive. If you need assistance logging in to OneDrive, see How do I log in to my NRCA OneDrive account?.

Tip

The directions below show how to share a a file so that anyone with the link can view the file. This includes people you did not share the file with directly.

STEP

Launch OneDrive

STEP

Locate the file you want to share and tap on the ellipses (3 dots) on the right-hand side of the file

STEP

Tap 'Share'

STEP

There are several ways to share

Anyone - share with anyone, does not require sign-in

People in North Raleigh Christian Academy - Share with people in North Raleigh Christian Academy, organization account required (i.e. they will be required to sign-in with their NRCA Credentials)

People with existing access - Reshare with people who already have access

People you choose - Share with specific people you choose inside or outside of North Raleigh Christian Academy, using their name, group, or email

STEP

Tap the radio button for 'Anyone'

STEP

Under 'More Settings', change the access to 'Can view'

Can view - whoever has the link is able to view the file, but they are not able to edit or change the file in any way.

STEP

Tap 'Apply'

STEP

The file now indicates that it has been 'Shared' with others

At any point, you can go back through the same steps and change how the file is shared, editing permissions, etc. This will then override the previously copied share link.
