| 1428023 | 2016-10-30 22:57:00 | One Drive Personal : I see how to share folders by emailing a link , so others can access shared onedrive files via a browser But with one drive personal, can I add another user, so that user can login with separate login/pass , so that user can add this Onedrive to Word etc ie 2nd user with their own login/pass on a OneDrive Personal a/c : want to be able to restrict some acess on that 2nd a/c or is OneDrive for business needed for that sort of thing ? |

| 1428024 | 2016-10-31 00:53:00 | Just tried it -- On my insider OS W10 Pro, went into its onedrive, created a new folder called Test, dropped in one file, then right click the folder/ share / More (bottom of share window) Manage Permissions - you can add a person (s) in the window on the right, send them an email, they will get the option to open /sign in to that one folder, it can then be linked (pop out will appear) and away you /they go. They will only be able to see the shared folder, none others you may have, both can add/delete etc from that one folder. The Insider AFAIK uses a personal Onedrive ( doesn't have MS office installed). |

| 1428025 | 2016-10-31 01:04:00 | It may be different for one drive personal (that makes sense) . Can email links , but cant add another user in onedrive personal (from what Ive seen) .Also didnt get the popup from onedrive person emailed link. looks like may need onedrive busesness , can add users in that. ? Basicly want to add it to MSWords 'places' ,and/or explorer via the app: to do that need the login. Dont want to give them the main user login as then they would have full access , want a 2nd restricted access login . To add to the confusion, can only have 1 onedrive personal via the app (as per MS Decree) , this 2nd user also has there own onedrive a/c dont you just love it when companies buy home/personal product then expect it to do stuff it wasnt intended for :-) |

| 1428026 | 2016-10-31 02:58:00 | Might be talking two different things here. Just tried it on a normal account(s) one drive offers 5GB for free, the business onedrive has 1TB. Just shared a folder using the free ones and they worked fine. Neither of these accounts are linked to a Office account. Shared the folder by right clicking Navigating : 7626 Expanded out options: 7627 Added one of my other accounts, went to a different PC, opened its related mail, clicked on the button to "view on Onedrive" 7628 Opened one drive pop up appeared after a few seconds: 7629 Now synced one drive: 7630 No other folders in the other one drive can be seen ( the other 8) |
