How to securely request files using OneDrive in 365 | an alternative to WeTransfer
In this video, I dive into a practical productivity tip for Microsoft 365 users, showcasing how OneDrive can replace third-party file-sharing services like WeTransfer. By utilizing OneDrive's "Collect Files" feature, I demonstrate a secure and efficient method for sharing files through a unique upload-only link. This approach not only boosts security by preventing unauthorized access but also streamlines the process of receiving files directly into your OneDrive, cutting out the need for external services.
I guide you through both traditional and innovative file-sharing methods, explaining how to set up a shared folder for basic sharing and then transition to a more secure method for collecting sensitive documents like signatures or IDs. This includes creating a folder specifically for file collection, generating a secure request link, and managing the uploads in an organized and secure way.
The advantages of this method are clear: enhanced security, immediate notifications upon file upload, and the elimination of intermediate services. It's an excellent way to get more from your Microsoft 365 subscription, ensuring your file-sharing process is both secure and efficient.
