OneDrive Business

How can we make shared folders (especially for external users) show our branding, like logo and corporate colors?

Unfortunately, OneDrive for Business external share pages do not support custom branding like your internal Microsoft 365 login pages do.

The Organization Branding settings (Azure Active Directory → Company branding) apply only to:

• Microsoft 365 login pages
• MyApps portal
• Internal experience for signed-in users

They do not extend to public/external sharing links (like shared folders sent to clients).

Here is a options and workaround.

Use SharePoint instead of OneDrive

OneDrive is technically a personal storage area for each employee — even though it’s business-tied. It offers very limited customization.

Instead, you can create a SharePoint document library with proper branding and share from there.

Steps:

1. In SharePoint Admin Center → Create a new site (e.g. “Client Portal”)
2. Add your company logo, colors, and layout
3. Create folders per client or project
4. Share specific folders/documents with external users
5. The external user will see your SharePoint-branded site when accessing

This is Microsoft's recommended way to customize the file-sharing experience for clients.

Hope this information helps you a little.
