And these have rolled out to 1st release tenants.
Last Ignite (September 2017) Microsoft announced some improvements here. This blog is about external sharing in SharePoint and OneDrive. “New secure external sharing experience SharePoint Online” They are not required to log in using a Microsoft Account or a Work or School Account. Now, if you share with a user who is not in the directory, they are sent a one-time code that they can use to verify their identity. They were then added to the directory as guests and given permissions to the file or folder. Previously, when securely sharing with users who were not in the organization’s directory, these users were sent an invitation and had to log in using a Microsoft Account or a Work or School Account. High-level Description:Ī new method of securely sharing files and folders with external users is being implemented. Obviously, the details provided below are not all-inclusive, but its enough to get you pointed in the right direction, and a lot of the content within this series will follow the same format. Hopefully you’ll find this information useful. I’m doing this partly for my own benefit - I retain knowledge better when I’ve had a chance to read and review something, and then document it myself. That’s a big deal for the Office 365 world, and a huge step in the right direction for external collaboration.Īs part of my ‘365 articles in 365 days’ attempt, I’ve put together a number of informative posts on key features and announcements. It’s a nice feature that is NOT restricted by Microsoft account status, so you can send links to partners and customers who do not have Microsoft accounts.

In the November update to Office 365, one of the new features mentioned was the ability to share secure external links in OneDrive and SharePoint Online, which includes sending an email-based verification code that can be “time bombed” by administrators.
While I still use Dropbox with some clients, most of my file sharing is back to SharePoint and OneDrive now that quality has greatly improved. I needed something more reliable at the time. Hey, we’ve all done it - in the not-so-distant past of OneDrive, for example, when my files were lost via a broken sync yet again, I paid for Dropbox.

Sharing content is the leading driver of “Shadow IT” efforts within most companies. Why this is a big deal is that the more difficult it is for employees to collaborate with the right people and at the right time, the more likely they will go around your security and compliance systems to get work done. One of the bigger topics of 2017 (in my opinion) was the continued complexity around sharing externally.
