Key Takeaways

  • You can share documents and folders with people outside of St. John Fisher University, however it is best practice to share only individual files with those users.
  • When sharing files, both internal and external recipients will only be able to view that file. If sharing a folder, users will see all files within that shared folder.
  • The "Manage Access" window will give you the most detail on what is being shared out, what permissions that folder/file has, and what links, if any, are active.
