How Do I Share Onedrive & SharePoint Files & Folders?

Questions Answered in this Article

Answers

All faculty, staff and students have the ability to share OneDrive and SharePoint files and folders with people inside and outside of UNCW.

*Please note:  To better protect university information and give you greater control over who can access your files, the “Anyone with the link” sharing option is not available for university files.

This added security measure helps prevent files and documents from being shared unintentionally and was approved by university leadership as part of our continued efforts to strengthen information security.
