OneDrive是Microsoft用于存储和共享文件的云服务。(cloud service)您可以存储业务文档、演示文稿、图片、视频、您的个人文件夹和许多其他类型的项目。您可以使用适用于Windows、iOS、Android等的OneDrive应用程序从OneDrive共享任何内容(share anything)。但是，您也可以在您想要使用的任何 Web 浏览器中共享(share stuff)来自OneDrive 网站的内容。(OneDrive website)如果您想知道如何在OneDrive上(OneDrive)共享(share something)内容，请按以下步骤操作：
1. 如何从Windows 10 PC共享OneDrive中的文件和文件夹(OneDrive)
(OneDrive)无论您是要共享文件还是文件夹， Windows 10中的(Windows 10)OneDrive共享都以相同的方式工作。(way regardless)首先(First)，使用文件资源管理器(File Explorer)打开您的OneDrive文件夹。导航(Navigate)到要共享的文件或文件夹并选择它们。
右键单击或(Right-click or press)按住所选项目。在上下文菜单中，单击或点击(click or tap)共享(Share)。
按下Share后，会显示一个包含多个共享选项的窗口，如下图所示。
您可以配置的第一件事是所选文件和文件夹是否可以由您与之共享的人编辑。默认情况下，“知道链接的任何人都可以编辑”("Anyone with the link can edit")，这意味着，如果您继续共享，则与您共享的人可以编辑项目。
如果您不希望其他人能够编辑您正在共享的文件和文件夹，请单击或点击(click or tap)“知道链接的任何人都可以编辑”("Anyone with the link can edit")。然后，OneDrive允许您访问一些共享选项，包括一个称为“允许编辑”("Allow editing")的选项。取消选中“允许编辑”("Allow editing")，访问您的项目的人只能查看它们而不能编辑它们。
此处显示的其他两个有用选项可让您为要共享的项目设置到期日期(expiration date)和密码。但是，请注意，这两个选项仅适用于OneDrive 或 Microsoft(OneDrive or Microsoft) 365 付费计划的订阅者。OneDrive免费基本计划的用户无法使用它们。
要设置到期日期(expiration date)，请单击或点击(click or tap)“设置到期日期”("Set expiration date")，然后选择您希望共享有效的日期。有关其工作原理的更多详细信息，请阅读如何在(How)Windows、Android或 Web 浏览器中使用临时链接从OneDrive共享。(OneDrive)
要为共享项目设置密码，请单击或点击(click or tap)“设置密码”("Set password")并输入您要使用的密码。请记住(Remember)将密码告诉与您共享文件和文件夹的人。
根据需要设置所有内容后，按Apply。
下一步是选择如何共享所选项目。有几种方法可以做到这一点。第一种方法是指定直接与之共享项目的人员。在“输入姓名或电子邮件”("Enter a name or email")字段中，开始输入您希望授予文件访问权限的人的姓名或电子邮件地址。
如果在您的联系人中找到他或她，请单击或点击(click or tap)他或她的电子邮件地址。否则，请输入完整的电子邮件地址，然后按(email address and press) 键盘上的Enter 。请注意，您可以重复此过程，直到您添加了共享项目的所有收件人。
如果需要，您还可以为文件和文件夹的收件人“添加消息”("Add a message")，但这是可选的。
然后，单击或点击发送(Send)，OneDrive会立即将包含共享项目链接的电子邮件发送给您之前指定的所有人。
您还可以使用可以复制并粘贴到任何您希望的任何链接的链接进行共享：电子邮件、Facebook 上(Facebook)的消息、Skype等。要做到这一点，请单击或点击(click or tap) “复制链接”("Copy link")。
OneDrive生成指向共享文件和文件夹的链接。按下复制(Copy)按钮，链接将复制到剪贴板。然后，您可以将该链接粘贴到您希望的任何位置（ Ctrl+ V
还有第三种共享OneDrive项目的方法。在共享项目(Share items)窗口中，您可以单击或点击更多应用(More Apps)，而不是使用电子邮件地址或复制OneDrive生成的链接。
如果您想通过Windows 10(Windows 10)中可用的其他方式（例如使用蓝牙(Bluetooth)、Wi-Fi或 PC 上可用的应用程序）共享所选项目，这将非常有用。要了解此功能的工作原理，请阅读本指南：从文件资源管理器(File Explorer)共享文件和文件夹的 7 种方法。
而已。无论(Regardless)您选择如何从OneDrive共享文件或文件夹，收到链接的人现在都可以访问它们。
2. 如何使用Android 智能手机或平板电脑从(Android smartphone or tablet)OneDrive共享文件和文件夹(OneDrive)
OneDrive提供了一个出色的Android 应用程序(Android app)，您不仅可以使用它来上传和访问云中的文件和文件夹，还可以与他人共享它们。如果您想共享OneDrive中的项目，请在(OneDrive)智能手机或平板电脑(smartphone or tablet)上打开应用程序，导航到这些文件和/或文件夹，然后选择它们。为此，请点击并按住它们。
选择项目后，点击屏幕顶部的共享(Share)按钮。
这会弹出一个名为“共享(Share)”的对话框，如下所示。
首先(First)，选择与您共享项目的人是“可以编辑”("Can Edit")还是“可以查看”("Can View")。如果您选择后者，您共享的文件和文件夹只能由您自己更改。
如果您是Microsoft 365的订阅者，您还可以设置共享项目的时间。为此，请点击“设置过期时间”("Set Expiration")。有关此功能的更多详细信息，请阅读本指南：如何在Windows、Android或 Web 浏览器中使用临时链接从OneDrive共享。(OneDrive)
一旦您根据自己的喜好调整了以前的设置，就可以实际共享选定的文件和文件夹了。第一种方法是点击“复制链接”("Copy link")按钮。这会创建一个指向项目的链接，然后您可以将其粘贴到任何电子邮件、SMS 文本(SMS text)消息、WhatsApp聊天室等中。
在Android中使用(Android)OneDrive共享文件和文件夹的另一种方法是邀请人们访问它们。为此，请点击“邀请他人”("Invite people")按钮。
然后，您可以键入要与之共享项目的人的电子邮件地址。为方便起见，您可以让OneDrive “显示来自此设备上的联系人的建议”("Show suggestions from contacts on this device")。如果您允许它，它可以访问您的电话联系人并在您在“添加电子邮件以共享”("Add email to share with")字段中输入他们的名字时搜索人。
如果您选择在手机上启用联系人搜索，Android会要求您“允许 OneDrive 访问您的联系人”("Allow OneDrive to access your contacts")。如果您希望此功能正常工作，请点击允许。(Allow)
一旦您添加了所有可以与之共享您的项目的人，您就可以访问其他一些设置。如果要“允许编辑”("Allow editing")您共享的文件和文件夹，您可以再次选择“需要登录才能访问”("Require sign-in to access")（与您共享项目的人必须登录到他们的Microsoft帐户才能访问它们），和“添加快速注释”("Add a quick note")（一条短消息，您可以发送给您邀请访问您的文件和/或文件夹的人）。完成后，点击屏幕右上角的发送按钮。(Send)
第三种从OneDrive共享项目的方法是通过Outlook。如果您点击此按钮，OneDrive将在您的(OneDrive)Android 设备(Android device)上打开Outlook应用程序并自动创建一条包含指向共享文件和文件夹的链接的消息。然后，您可以将其发送给您希望授予对您从OneDrive中选择的文件和文件夹的访问权限的任何人。请注意，如果您的设备上没有Outlook应用程序，点击此按钮会将您带到Play 商店(Play Store)进行安装。
最后，从OneDrive共享文件和文件夹的最后一种方法是使用Android 设备(Android device)上可用的一些应用程序和功能(apps and features)。从屏幕底部滑动以查看所有内容。
您在此处获得的选项取决于您安装了哪些应用程序以及您的Android 设备(Android device)具有哪些功能。但是，无论您选择使用哪个，它们都通过自动创建一个共享链接(sharing link)来工作，该链接使用您点击的应用程序或功能(app or feature)发送给其他人。
3. 如何使用iPhone 或 iPad从(iPhone or iPad)OneDrive共享文件和文件夹(OneDrive)
在iPhone 或 iPad(iPhone or iPad)上打开OneDrive应用程序。导航(Navigate)到您要共享的项目，然后选择它们。您可以通过点击并按住要共享的文件和/或文件夹来做到这一点。然后，点击屏幕右上角的共享按钮。(Share)
这将打开一个弹出窗口，其中包含您可以执行的操作，如下面的屏幕截图所示。
您可以获得一系列选项来使用AirDrop、信息(AirDrop, Messages,)或邮件(Mail)等功能或应用程序共享文件和文件夹。如果您不想调整有关项目共享方式的任何设置，请点按您要使用的应用程序或功能。(app or feature)这会立即创建一个指向您的项目的链接，您可以使用您选择的应用程序或功能发送该链接。(app or feature)但是，请注意，默认情况下，共享项目可以由有权访问它们的人编辑，您可能不希望这样做。
如果您想共享选定的文件和文件夹，以便有权访问它们的人只能查看它们，请向上拖动活动窗格，然后点击“仅查看”("View Only")。
如果您订阅了Microsoft 365，您还可以设置共享项目的到期日期(expiration date)。为此，点击链接设置(Link Settings)并选择共享项目的时间。
如果您不想共享使用活动面板开头显示的任何应用程序或功能选择的文件和文件夹，您可以使用(apps or features)“复制链接”("Copy Link")选项。这会自动创建指向OneDrive中所选项目的链接，然后您可以将其粘贴到您想要的任何位置：短信、电子邮件，甚至网站上。
从OneDrive(OneDrive)轻松共享文件和/或文件夹的另一个选项是“Outlook 中的电子邮件”("Email in Outlook")。点击此选项会自动打开iPhone 或 iPad上的(iPhone or iPad)Outlook应用程序，并创建一封电子邮件，其中包含指向所选OneDrive项目的链接。但是，如果您不使用Outlook或未安装应用程序，则选择此选项会使OneDrive打开App Store，以便您在 iPhone 或 iPad 上安装Outlook 。
从OneDrive(OneDrive)共享文件或文件夹的另一种方法是“邀请他人”("Invite People")。
这将打开一个新面板，您可以从中键入电子邮件地址或选择要与其共享文件和/或文件夹的联系人。
要从您的联系人中选择人员，请点按+ plus。
然后，开始输入此人的姓名，当您找到他或她时，点击his/her name。
如果您想添加更多人，请重复此过程。然后，选择您喜欢的选项： (Options)“允许编辑”("Allow editing")（人们可以更改您的文件和文件夹）、“需要登录才能访问”(, "Require sign-in to access")（人们需要使用他们的Microsoft帐户登录才能访问您的项目）和“添加过期”("Add Expiration")（设置共享项目的时间；仅当您是Microsoft 365的订阅者时，此选项才可用）。
完成后，点击屏幕右上角的添加按钮，您的项目将与您指定的人共享。(Add)
就是这样：这些是您可以使用适用于 iOS的OneDrive应用程序共享文件和/或文件夹的方式。(OneDrive)
4. 如何使用Web 浏览器从(web browser)OneDrive共享文件和文件夹(OneDrive)
您还可以使用OneDrive 网站从(OneDrive website)OneDrive共享文件和文件夹。登录，导航到您要共享的文件和/或文件夹，然后选择它们。您可以通过将鼠标光标移动(mouse cursor)到他们的名字上方并选中他们右上角（在平铺视图(tile view)中）或他们名字左侧（在列表视图(list view)中）上显示的框来做到这一点。然后，单击或点击页面顶部工具栏上的(click or tap)共享(Share)。
按下Share后，会显示一个新窗口，其中包含多个共享选项。默认情况下，“知道链接的任何人都可以编辑”("Anyone with the link can edit")共享文件和/或文件夹。这意味着，如果您继续共享，则与您共享的人可以编辑项目。
如果您对此感到满意，您可以继续输入您想要授予其访问您的项目的人员的姓名或电子邮件地址，您还可以“添加消息”，("Add a message,")但这是可选的。然后，按“发送(Send)”按钮，您选择的人应该会收到一封电子邮件，其中包含指向您的OneDrive项目的链接。
或者，您可以单击/点击对话框(dialog box)底部的“复制链接”("Copy Link")。这会在剪贴板中放置一个指向所选文件和/或文件夹的链接，然后您可以将其粘贴到您喜欢的任何位置：电子邮件、短信、网站等。
如果您不希望知道链接的每个人都能够编辑您的共享文件和/或文件夹，请单击或点击(click or tap)“知道链接的任何人都可以编辑”("Anyone with the link can edit")。
然后，您可以取消选中“允许编辑”框，以便("Allow editing")OneDrive生成的链接不会授予对您的共享文件和/或文件夹的编辑访问权限。这样，他们只能查看您的项目，但不能更改它们。
此外，如果您是Microsoft 365订阅者，您还可以为共享项目“设置 [an] 到期日期”("Set [an] expiration date")和“设置 [a] 密码”("Set [a] password")。
根据需要更改这些设置后，按应用(Apply)按钮。
这会将您带回到我们在本节开头显示的共享弹出窗口。(sharing popup)

4 ways to share files and folders from OneDrive
OneDrive is Microsoft's cloud service for storing and sharing files. You can store business documents, presentations, pictures, videos, your personal folders and many other types of items. You can share anything from OneDrive using the OneDrive app for Windows, iOS, Android and so on. However, you can also share stuff from the OneDrive website, in any web browser that you want to use. If you want to know how to share something on OneDrive, here's how it is done:
1. How to share files and folders from OneDrive, from a Windows 10 PC
OneDrive sharing in Windows 10 works the same way regardless of whether you want to share files or folders. First of all, use File Explorer to open your OneDrive folder. Navigate to the files or folders that you want to share and select them.
Right-click or press and hold on the selected items. In the contextual menu, click or tap on Share.
After you press Share, a window with several sharing options, like the one illustrated below, shows up.
The first thing you can configure is whether the selected files and folders can be edited by the people with whom you're sharing them. By default, "Anyone with the link can edit", which means that, if you go ahead with the sharing, the items can be edited by the people you are sharing with.
If you don't want people to be able to edit the files and folders that you are sharing, click or tap on "Anyone with the link can edit". Then, OneDrive gives you access to a few sharing options, including one called "Allow editing". Uncheck "Allow editing" and those who access your items can only view them instead of editing them.
The other two useful options that are present here let you set an expiration date and a password for the items you're sharing. However, know that these two options are available only for the subscribers to OneDrive or Microsoft 365 paid plans. They're not available for users of the free basic plan of OneDrive.
To set an expiration date, click or tap on "Set expiration date" and then select the date until when you want the share to be valid. For more details on how this works, read How to share from OneDrive using temporary links, in Windows, Android or a web browser.
To set a password for the shared items, click or tap on "Set password" and type the password you want to use. Remember to tell the password to the people with whom you are sharing the files and folders.
Once you've set everything as you wanted, press Apply.
The next step is to choose how you want to share the selected items. There are several ways to do that. The first way is to specify the people with whom to share the items directly. In the "Enter a name or email" field, start typing the name or the email address of someone you want to give access to your files.
If he or she is found in your contacts, click or tap on his or her email address. Otherwise, type the full email address and press Enter on your keyboard. Note that you can repeat this process until you've added all the recipients of the shared items.
If you want, you can also "Add a message" for the recipients of your files and folders, but that is optional.
Then, click or tap Send and OneDrive immediately transmits email messages with the link to the shared items to all the people you've specified earlier.
You can also share using a link which you can copy and paste anywhere you wish: e-mail, a message on Facebook, Skype, etc. To do that, click or tap "Copy link".
OneDrive generates a link that leads to the shared files and folders. Push the Copy button, and the link is copied to the clipboard. You can then paste (Ctrl+ V) that link anywhere you wish.
There's also a third way of sharing items from your OneDrive. Instead of using email addresses or copying the link generated by OneDrive, in the Share items window, you can click or tap on More Apps.
This is useful if you want to share the selected items through other means available in Windows 10, like using Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or apps available on your PC. To learn how this feature works, read this guide: 7 ways to share files and folders from File Explorer.
That's it. Regardless of how you chose to share files or folders from your OneDrive, the people who received the link to them can now access them.
2. How to share files and folders from OneDrive using an Android smartphone or tablet
OneDrive offers an excellent Android app, which you can use not only to upload and access your files and folders in the cloud, but also to share them with others. If you want to share items from your OneDrive, open the app on your smartphone or tablet, navigate to those files and/or folders, and select them. To do that, tap and hold on them.
After you've selected the items, tap the Share button from the top side of the screen.
This pops up a dialog called Share like the one below.
First of all, choose whether the people with whom you're sharing the items "Can Edit" or "Can View" them. If you choose the latter, the files and folders you share can't be changed by anyone but yourself.
If you're a subscriber to Microsoft 365, you can also set the time for how long the items are shared. To do that, tap "Set Expiration". For more details about this feature, read this guide: How to share from OneDrive using temporary links, in Windows, Android or a web browser.
Once you've adjusted the previous settings to your liking, it's time to actually share the selected files and folders. The first way in which you can do that is by tapping the "Copy link" button. This creates a link to the items, which you can then paste in any email, SMS text message, WhatsApp chat room, etc.
Another way to share files and folders using OneDrive in Android is by inviting people to access them. To do that, tap the "Invite people" button.
Then, you can type the email addresses of the people you want to share the items with. To make it easier, you can let OneDrive "Show suggestions from contacts on this device". If you let it, it can access your phone contacts and search for people as you type their names in the "Add email to share with" field.
If you choose to enable the contacts search on your phone, Android asks you to "Allow OneDrive to access your contacts". Tap Allow if you want this feature to work.
Once you've added all the people to share your items with, you get access to a few other settings. You can choose again if you want to "Allow editing" of the files and folders you share, "Require sign-in to access" (the persons with whom you're sharing items must sign in to their Microsoft accounts to access them), and "Add a quick note" (a short message that you can send to the people who you invite to access your files and/or folders). When you're done, tap the Send button from the top-right corner of the screen.
A third method to share items from your OneDrive is via Outlook. If you tap this button, OneDrive opens the Outlook app on your Android device and automatically creates a message that contains the link to the shared files and folders. You can then send it to anyone you want to give access to the files and folders that you've selected from your OneDrive. Note that, if you don't have the Outlook app on your device, tapping this button takes you to the Play Store to install it.
Finally, the last method to share the files and folders from your OneDrive is by using some of the apps and features available on your Android device. Slide from the bottom of the screen to see them all.
The options you get here depend on what apps you have installed and what features your Android device has. However, regardless of which you choose to use, they all work by automatically creating a sharing link which is sent to other people using the app or feature that you've tapped on.
3. How to share files and folders from OneDrive using an iPhone or iPad
Open the OneDrive app on your iPhone or iPad. Navigate to the items you want to share, and select them. You can do that by tapping and holding on the files and/or folders you want to share. Then, tap the Share button from the top-right corner of the screen.
This opens a popup with actions you can take, like in the screenshot below.
You get a series of options to share the files and folders using features or apps such as AirDrop, Messages, or Mail. If you don't want to adjust any settings on how the items are shared, tap the app or feature that you want to use. That instantly creates a link to your items, which you can send using the app or feature you've selected. However, know that, by default, the shared items can be edited by the people who get access to them, which you might not want.
If you want to share the selected files and folders so that the people who get access to them can only view them, drag the activities pane upwards, and tap on "View Only".
If you are subscribed to Microsoft 365, you can also set an expiration date for the shared items. For that, tap Link Settings and choose for how long the items are shared.
If you don't want to share the files and folders selected using any of the apps or features shown at the beginning of the activities panel, you can use the "Copy Link" option. This automatically creates a link to the selected items from your OneDrive, which you can then paste anywhere you want: in a text message, an email, even on a website.
Another option to share files and/or folders from your OneDrive easily is "Email in Outlook". Tapping this option automatically opens the Outlook app on your iPhone or iPad, and creates an email message with the link to your selected OneDrive items. However, if you do not use Outlook or you don't have the app installed, choosing this option makes OneDrive open the App Store so that you install Outlook on your iPhone or iPad.
Another way of sharing files or folders from your OneDrive is to "Invite People".
This opens a new panel from which you can type email addresses or select the contacts with whom you want to share the files and/or folders.
To select people from your contacts, tap + plus.
Then, start typing the name of the person and, when you find him or her, tap on his/her name.
If you want to add more people, repeat the process. Then, select the Options you prefer: "Allow editing" (people can change your files and folders), "Require sign-in to access" (people need to sign in with their Microsoft accounts before getting access to your items), and "Add Expiration" (sets the time for how long the items are shared; this option is available only if you are a subscriber to Microsoft 365).
When you're done, tap the Add button from the top-right corner of the screen, and your items are shared with the people you specified.
That's it: these were the ways in which you can share files and/or folders using the OneDrive app for iOS.
4. How to share files and folders from OneDrive using a web browser
You can also share files and folders from your OneDrive using the OneDrive website. Sign in, navigate to the files and/or folders that you want to share, and select them. You can do that by moving the mouse cursor on top of their names and checking the boxes shown on their top-right corners (in tile view) or the left of their name (in list view). Then, click or tap Share on the toolbar from the top of the page.
After you press Share, a new window is shown with several sharing options. By default, "Anyone with the link can edit" the shared files and/or folders. This means that, if you go ahead with the sharing, the items can be edited by the people you are sharing with.
If you are OK with this, you can go ahead and enter the names or email addresses of the people to whom you want to give access to your items, and you can also "Add a message," but that's optional. Then, press the Send button and the people you've chosen should receive an email message with the link to your OneDrive items.
Alternatively, you can click/tap on "Copy Link" at the bottom of the dialog box. That puts a link to the selected files and/or folders in your clipboard, which you can then paste anywhere you like: in an email message, in a text message, on a website, etc.
If you don't want everyone who has the link to be able to edit your shared files and/or folders, click or tap on "Anyone with the link can edit".
Then, you can uncheck the "Allow editing" box so that the link generated by OneDrive doesn't give editing access to your shared files and/or folders. This way, they can only view your items, but they can't change them.
Additionally, if you're a Microsoft 365 subscriber, you can also "Set [an] expiration date" and "Set [a] password" for the shared items.
After you've changed these settings as you wanted, press the Apply button.
This takes you back to the sharing popup which we've shown at the beginning of this section.
