Issue/Question
How do I upload and share a file through Microsoft OneDrive?
Resolution
Sharing files to others that do not have addresses ending in @topper.wku.edu or @wku.edu is not permitted for the security of WKU data.
Access to Microsoft OneDrive is offered through the email portal.
- Log into your WKU email.
- Open the App Launcher (blue icon at top left).
- Under Apps, click OneDrive.
- You can either drag the file into the area labeled Drag files here to upload, or click Upload and select the file by navigating to it's location on your device.
- Once the file is done uploading, hover your mouse over it within OneDrive and click the Share button.
- Select who you would like to have access to the file link. If everyone is selected, individuals will still need to have the link to access the file.
- If you would like the individuals that can access the shared file to be able to change the file, check the box labeled Allow editing.
- If you would like the file to be available until a specific date, select Set expiration date and select a date.
- Click Apply.
- Enter the email address of the person(s) who you are sharing the file with.
- If necessary, add a personal message that the recipient will see along with the file link.
- Click Send to share the file.
Note: OneDrive has a maximum uploaded file size of 10GB. It is a useful way for students to share files with instructors that are larger than the 250MB file size limit present in Blackboard.
