Can I Use OneDrive to Share Files with Non-Microsoft Users?

Answer:

​Yes, OneDrive enables sharing with users who do not have a Microsoft account. This feature is especially useful for collaborating with external stakeholders.

How to Share Files with Non-Microsoft Users:

1. Navigate to the file or folder in OneDrive.
2. Click the Share button.
3. In the sharing options, select Anyone with the link can view or edit.
4. Generate and share the link via email, chat, or other platforms.

Best Practices for Secure Sharing:

• Password-Protect the Link: Ensure only the intended recipient can access the file.
• Set an Expiration Date: Limit how long the link is active to reduce risks.
• Restrict Permissions: Allow View Only access if editing isn’t required.

Tip: 

​Avoid sharing sensitive files via unrestricted public links.
