While there are various ways to share documents and files, we recommend using a SharePoint Document Library for seamless and efficient collaboration.

SharePoint is a web-based platform for collaboration and document management and is part of the Microsoft 365 suite. A SharePoint Document Library is an easy-to-use file repository for sharing documents within each SharePoint site.

A SharePoint Document Library is usually accessed through your browser within a SharePoint site. However, if you would rather manage your SharePoint documents like a “network share,” you can set this up by navigating to the document library, selecting “Sync,” and then accessing the files directly in File Explorer.

Note: It is important to emphasize that OneDrive should not be used for sharing and collaborating documents and files. Instead, it should be used for storing personal working files that are not meant for collaboration.

If you have any questions about SharePoint or need help with using a SharePoint Document Library, we are here to offer support and training.
