Share a Document from Microsoft 365

You can easily share documents using Microsoft 365. You can share a Microsoft 365 document by posting it to a social network or blog or sending a document as an email attachment. You can also take advantage of a free online presentation service Microsoft offers and share your document by presenting it online. Or, as shown in this section, you can send a link to your OneDrive — as part of Microsoft 365, you receive free cloud space at OneDrive — where the recipient can view and even work on only the shared document. When you finish, you can stop sharing the document.
