Sharing Folders in Sharepoint - EXTERNAL to LBC

Modified on Fri, 14 Jul 2023 at 11:54 AM

In order to securely share LBC data with external recipients when necessary, please follow these best practices. 


Sharing data outside of LBC:

Start within the web version of Sharepoint, https://msllbc.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/sharepoint.aspx.


Select the folder (or file) you need to share. Right-click the 3-dot ellipses and choose Share: 



Click the dropdown next to the eye and select Can Edit, if needed. Otherwise, Can view is the preferred setting: 


NOTE: We recommend sharing folders and not individual files when possible, so the recipients don't end up with dozens of individual links. 


In the Share dialog box, add the email address of the external person you wish to share with. The system will recognize the person is outside of LBC:  


Select Continue and add a message to them telling them what the purpose of the link is: 


Alternatively, you can choose "copy link": 


Then create a new email in Outlook to the person you're sharing with and paste in the link:



IMPORTANT NOTE: As a security precaution, links will expire. If an exception is needed, please contact the IT HelpDesk at help@lbc.edu.
