Overview
This article will ensure you can share externally to users within Teams, SharePoint, or OneDrive.
Note: Email accounts you share with must be previously set up as a Microsoft Account.
Instructions
- The external user will need to create a Microsoft.com account. They can create an account using a Gmail address; it does not need to be an Outlook account.
- if they are affiliated with another university, they can try using their university email address—many are already associated with Microsoft.com accounts
- Once they have created a Microsoft account, send them the SharePoint site URL.
- When they open the link, they may see a “Permission Denied” message. They will need to select “Request Access.”
- You will receive an email notification to grant them access, and once access is granted, they should be able to view the files.
