Overview
When you create and share a file stored in OneDrive, it is required that you check those permissions each fall and spring to ensure users or groups with whom you've shared the file still need access to read, edit or download.
Follow these steps to remove a share in OneDrive. Screenshots taken from Windows 11 computer.
NOTE:
- It is recommended you manage file shares using a computer rather than a mobile app.
- Share permissions include, Can edit, Can review, Can view and Can't download.
- Recipients with edit permissions may be able to share the file with others.
- You can remove a person from the share, but you cannot edit permissions for a shared link.
- You are required to check your shared files and remove those who no longer need access to the file. For example, a user may have left ECU or tranferred.
Step 1
Log in to OneDrive:
- All users: Log in to pirate365.ecu.edu and choose the OneDrive app.
- ECU-managed Windows shortcut: Click the blue cloud in your system tray and choose View online.
Step 2
From the main menu, choose Shared.
Step 3
Choose the By you link from the main menu. This opens a list of files you own that you have shared.
Step 4
Choose a file and click the ellipsis to the right of the file name. Then choose Manage access from the fly out menu.
Step 5
To stop sharing a file altogether, click the Stop sharing link in the Manage Access dialog box. This will remove all users except file owners.
Step 6
Delete the sharing link so it no longer works for anyone. You might do this to reset sharing permissions since they cannot be changed for an existing link.
Step 7
When sharing through a link, remove an individual by clicking Links. You will see the sharing link and a list of those using the link. To remove an individual, click the "X" beside their name. Other users remain in the list.
