Sharing data with a community
Hi all,
I'm an admin for a small group of volunteers in our community. As such, we've signed up for Microsoft's non profit program.
I would like to accomplish the following: create a simple sharepoint site (document library?) in which members of my organisation can upload data (leaflets, promo material etc.). This data should be public available over the internet to everyone in our community, without the need for people in the community to sign in first.
Is there any way we can accomplish this?
Thanks for your answers 🙂
Hi!
So you can't directly share an entire Document Library externally without having to login in and having a m365, as there's no option to do so due to various reasons step. However, you can still share content from the library by focusing on individual folders and having it open for everyone.
Here's how it works:
If you want to grant access to a particular folder within the Document Library, you can select that folder and use the "Share" option. This allows you to control exactly what others can see, which is often more secure and efficient than sharing everything at once. When you press "Share," you'll have the option to select "Anyone with the link." This means that anyone who receives the link will be able to access the contents of that folder, without needing special permissions or accounts.
This method gives you more flexibility and control over your shared content, ensuring that only the necessary files are accessible to others, while keeping the rest of your Document Library private.
Se image below!
