From Monday 1 July you will no longer be able to share documents to ‘Anyone with the link’ within SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams. This change to file sharing will contribute to improving BU’s online security.
What does this mean for me?
You will only be able to share documents/files/links on any of these platforms with ‘named users’, who can either be BU users, or other email addresses specified when the file is shared. There will be no option to 'Share with all'.
What more do I need to know?
- Access to files will be restricted to those ‘named users’ only
- If the link is forwarded to, or access is attempted by someone not on the original ‘named user’ list it will not be accessible
- Links to all documents/files shared in this way will expire after 30 days, after that time the link will no longer be accessible to anyone. Links still required will need to be re-created and re-shared with ‘named users’.
If you have any queries about the above, please contact the IT Service Desk on (01202 9)65515, freephone 0808 196 2332.
