To configure Sharing settings, follow these steps:
- Navigate to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center (https://admin.microsoft.com).
- Expand Admin Centers and select OneDrive. Alternatively, navigate to https://admin.onedrive.com.
- Select Sharing.
- Review and update the settings, as shown in the following screenshot:
- Click Save.
The complete list of settings is as follows:
SETTING | OPTIONS | SETTINGS |
Links | Default link type. | Shareable: Anyone with the link Internal: Only people in your organization Direct: Specific people |
Advanced settings for shareable links. | Links must expire within this number of days Files (View | View, Edit, and Upload) Folders (View | View, Edit, and Upload) |
|
External Sharing | SharePoint. | Anyone New and existing external users Existing external users Only people in your organization |
OneDrive. | Anyone New and existing external users Existing external users Only people in your organization |
|
Advanced settings for external sharing | Allow or block sharing with people on specific domains. | Type of restriction (Allow only these domains | Block these domains) |
External users must accept sharing invitations using the same account that the invitations were sent to. | ||
Let external users share items they don't own. | ||
Other settings | For owners, display the names of people who viewed their files. |
There are some interesting caveats about the sharing settings:
- Advanced settings for shareable links: These options are only available if the SharePoint slider under External Sharing is set to Anonymous (Anyone).
- Allow or block sharing with people on specific domains: This is an either/or selection. You can only select Allow or Block, and can only specify domains for one of those settings.
