One Drive Sharing Files
Chris,
Thank you for your response, it was very helpful. Do you know of any Office 365 file sharing programs that would support both of our criteria:
- No matter who/what email address we would send it to (except for those already authorized in our group) - the file would require some kind of password/code to open (even if they already happen to be signed into Office 365/One Drive); AND
- We could individually remove someone from access to a particular file - but not wipe out everyone who has access to that file.
Thanks again!
MicrosoftHi l_glase,
Sharing via "specific people" links should satisfy both of your requirements below. Users will be asked to either sign-in with their account or prove they own the e-mail address that was shared to via a one time passcode.
These users will show up under specific people links in the "Manage Access" pane in OneDrive & SharePoint and you can remove them all at once (by removing the link) or individually. Hope that helps!

StephenRice I'm trying to accomplish this too. My external team member is being told that they must have an Office365 account to access the "specific person" access I granted them to one folder on our OneDrive.
How do we make this work?
Do I have to purchase a license for someone who does 5 hours of work a week?
- No. Their email is tied to an office 365 account if they get that message. They need to get their login and use it. Otherwise you need to share it with them to another email that is not hosted by office 365.
ChrisWebbTech, thanks for writing.
So they just retired. I sent to their Gmail. Does that mean their previous employer has not disconnected them from Office365? They don't have an active personal Office365 account, but have MS Office on their laptop. But you're saying they only get the message if they have an Office365 account?
