How do I share files with other MEC staff
Last Updated 3 years ago

Open Explorer and find the file or folder you want to share. In this example we'll be using a folder of posters for an event we are hosting.

In the left pane of the Explorer window, you can see that we are in the IT Office - Documents folder within Murray Edwards College and we have selected the Posters folder to share with others. Right click the folder to share:

We want to Share our posters with others who are helping with the event.

n.b. 'Give access to       >' is the wrong thing to do here!

Clicking Share opens the dialog as follows:

Press Send

As you can see, we have advised the recipient to open via OneDrive
