OneDrive Sharing Settings Update

For security reasons, we’ve set the default when sharing files in OneDrive to only share with specific people. You will still be able to generate a link that will work for anyone in Middlebury College if you so choose, for example if you want to make a GO link for the whole community and/or link to a particular file from a departmental website.

We are also disallowing anonymous global sharing. If you share a document with someone outside the Middlebury organization, they will need to create a Microsoft account and login to see it.

Finally, users outside the organization can no longer automatically re-share items they don’t own; they will need to request access for anyone else from the original owner.

Thank you for your patience as we strive to provide the best experience and keep our systems functioning optimally.
