Share a file outside the company with a link that expires

When you need to share a file with someone outside your organization, a OneDrive or SharePoint link is safer than an attachment. You stay in control: you choose who can open it, and you can stop it working later.

Share it

1. Select the file in OneDrive, SharePoint or Teams, then Share.
2. Open the link settings (the gear icon, or the text describing who the link works for).
3. Choose Specific people, and type the person's email address.
4. Choose Can view unless they need to edit, and set an expiration date if the option is shown.
5. Select Send or Copy link.

With Specific people, only the person you named can open it, after confirming their email address.

When you're done

• Select the file, then Manage access, to see who can open it and stop sharing.
• Don't share folders when a single file will do.

Can't share outside, or don't see these options? Your organization decides what's allowed. Email support@deepnet.com and we'll help.
