Can I create a friendly URL for a shared folder within Office 365 folder structure?

Hi,

 

I want to share a folder for Business Continuity / Disaster Recovery. 

I have 2 options, 

1. create a subsite https://aaa.sharepoint.com/businesscontinuity

2. share a folder in the root site, https://aaa.sharepoint.com/sitePages/Home.aspx?Root......

 

The benifit of option 1 is that we have a userfriendly memorable url. 

Can I create a friendly URL for a shared folder within Office 365 folder structure? 

Or is option the preferable option in this case?

 

Thank you for your time,

Ollie

    Have you considered using the Featured Links widget on the SharePoint homepage? I don't know of a way to ask SharePoint to make a redirect or a shortened URL, but this would be accessible enough as long as everybody knew where to look.
