This method of sharing generates, and emails, a link to the item, it does not send the recipient(s) the file itself. Creating a link ensure the file remains encrypted; the recipient will need to sign into their Microsoft account in order to view/edit the item. When the user opens the file, you are both editing the same file while changes are saved to a single file on your SharePoint. If you are working on the file at the same time, you will see updates by each user as they are typed. If instead you would like to generate a link that can be posted on a website, view the Generating a universal link to the item(s) section below. |
