Generating Your OneDrive Sharing Report

Summary

Instructions for generating your OneDrive Sharing Report that contains details on documents you have shared from your OneDrive app.

Body

Objective

When your content is migrated as part of the Future Ready Cloud Collaboration Workspace project, links that you have previously shared with others will no longer be valid and you will need to send them new links if they need to continue to access that content. This report is helpful in showing who you have previously shared links to your OneDrive content with.

Note: The report does not contain the date that you shared the link so you may not need to re-share every document listed. 

Users

This report is helpful for users that have shared documents from their OneDrive with others that need to retain access to them.
