Office 365: create public folders - how it works

Office 365 is a great service for working together online on a document. To do this, you need to set up a public folder. You can find out how this works in this article.

Create a public folder in Office 365

1. First you have to open OneDrive in your browser.
2. Now you need a folder that you want to share. If you haven't yet created a folder to share, click New in the top left corner of OneDrive, and then click Folder.
3. Now right-click on the folder you want to share, then press "Share".
4. Now a dialog opens where you can specify whether others can edit this folder. You can then either copy the link or send it by email.
5. If you want to cancel the release, right-click on "Share" again and press "More" and then "Manage permissions". You will now see the public link to this folder. To end the release, simply press the cross next to the link and confirm the following message.
