File sharing is a technology concept that helps educators and learners increase their productivity and creativity by:
- Saving time through simultaneous editing
- Eliminating confusion of multiple file versions
- Saving money by enhancing efficiency
- Preventing lost data
- Allowing everyone to share ideas
Microsoft 365 applications offer easy ways for learners and educators to share files. Some of the most used Microsoft 365 apps allowing file sharing are:
- Excel
- OneNote
- PowerPoint
- Stream
- Sway
- Whiteboard
- Word
All these Microsoft 365 applications include a Share button that, when selected, provides options to send a link to others immediately, copy a link to email or post in a Teams chat later and Manage Access. Manage Access allows the file's owner to manage who has access to the file and what type of access others have.
