SharePoint (Classic Sites) - Sharing a folder or document with someone outside the company Tutorial
In this video, you will learn how to share folders or documents with people outside your company.
It is important to consider your company's strategy and permissions before sharing with external parties.
By default, document libraries inherit permissions from your SharePoint site, but you can change them for each folder or document.
It is recommended to define overall permissions for your site and share it entirely for better security.
Creating dedicated SharePoint sites for each work team or project is also advised.
To share a folder or document, you can use a username sharing link and specify whether the recipient can edit or download the document.
The recipient will receive an email with a link and an access code to authenticate.
They can share the document with others who already have access and may also download or delete it, depending on the permissions granted.
Keep in mind that recipients can transfer the email and access code to others.
Regularly check and manage permissions using the manage access panel.
This tutorial will help you effectively share files and folders with external parties while maintaining security.

Objectifs :
This video aims to guide users on how to share folders or files from their SharePoint site with external parties while emphasizing the importance of adhering to company policies regarding external sharing.
Chapitres :
-
Introduction to Sharing in SharePoint
In this section, we will explore the process of sharing folders and files with external parties using SharePoint. It is crucial to understand that sharing with individuals outside your organization is contingent upon your company's sharing strategy. -
Understanding Permissions
Before sharing, it's important to note that document libraries and their contents inherit the permissions set for the SharePoint site. While you can modify permissions for individual folders or documents, it is advisable to establish clear overall permissions for the site to enhance security. This approach simplifies the management of permissions, allowing for easier modifications at the site level rather than on a document-by-document basis. -
Best Practices for Site Organization
To maintain an organized structure, it is recommended to create dedicated SharePoint sites for each work team or specific project. This prevents the complications that arise from consolidating all organizational activities into a single site, which can lead to a chaotic environment with numerous documents and permissions. -
Sharing Specific Documents or Folders
If you need to share a specific folder or document with someone outside your company, you can do so by generating a sharing link. You have the option to share with specific individuals, allowing them to edit or view the document, and you can also restrict the ability to download it. Once shared, the recipient will receive an email containing the link to access the document. -
Authentication and Access Codes
Upon clicking the link, the recipient will receive an access code via email, which is valid for 15 minutes. If multiple documents are shared from the same SharePoint site, the recipient will only need to enter the code once. Depending on the permissions granted, the recipient may share the document with others who already have access, download a copy, or delete it. -
Managing Access and Permissions
It is essential to regularly check the permissions of your files or folders using the manage access panel. This tool allows you to see who has access to your files and revoke permissions that are no longer necessary. Be mindful that employees can transfer the email containing the document link and access code to others, so regular audits of permissions are advisable.
FAQ :
How can I share a document in SharePoint with someone outside my organization?
To share a document with someone outside your organization, you can create a sharing link and specify whether the recipient can edit or download the document. An access code will be sent to the recipient for authentication.
What are the risks of sharing documents externally?
Sharing documents externally can lead to unauthorized access if the recipient shares the link or access code with others. It's important to regularly check permissions and manage access to ensure security.
Can I change permissions for individual documents in SharePoint?
Yes, you can change permissions for individual documents or folders, but it is recommended to set overall permissions for the site to simplify management.
What happens if I deactivate the edit and download options for a document?
If you deactivate the edit and download options, the recipient will only be able to view the document without making any changes or downloading a copy.
How long is the access code valid for?
The access code sent to the recipient is valid for 15 minutes.
Quelques cas d'usages :
Collaborating on a Project with External Partners
A marketing team can create a dedicated SharePoint site for a project and share specific folders with external partners. This allows for organized collaboration while maintaining control over permissions.
Managing Document Access for Temporary Employees
HR can use SharePoint to share onboarding documents with temporary employees. By setting specific permissions, HR can ensure that these employees have access only to necessary documents without compromising sensitive information.
Sharing Reports with Stakeholders
A finance team can share quarterly reports with stakeholders outside the organization. By using the sharing link feature, they can control whether stakeholders can edit or download the reports, ensuring data security.
Regularly Auditing Document Permissions
IT departments can utilize the Manage Access Panel to regularly audit who has access to sensitive documents. This helps in revoking permissions that are no longer needed and maintaining security.
