Sharing Files (OneDrive)

The Public Share folder will be phased out due to security issues that we cannot bypass after recent server upgrades.  Instead, please utilize OneDrive for Business. 

Important: Please note that if you share folders, the receiver will be required to signing in using their Microsoft account (or sign up for one).  To avoid this, please zip up the file and uncheck "Require sign-in" when sharing the zipped file.
