Simple sharing

With SkyDrive, it’s easy to share files securely and easily with your friends or coworkers. They won’t need to install any special programs or sign up for a new account, and they can use any web browser to get to the files you share with them. And you have control—your files will only be shared with the people you choose.

Share any file—even big ones

Instead of running into size limits for email attachments, you can email a link to photo albums or any other file on SkyDrive.

Here's how:

  1. Upload your file to your SkyDrive (up to 2GB from the SkyDrive app on your computer or 300MB from SkyDrive.com).

  2. Select the files you want to send:
    If you’re on a phone or tablet, choose Send a link.
    If you’re on a computer, choose Share and then decide how you want to share:

    • By email.

    • With a link (handy if you want to copy and paste into an instant message or webpage).

    • On Facebook, Gmail, Twitter, LinkedIn, and more—you can share SkyDrive files with any contact or network you’ve connected to your SkyDrive account.

Post files to Facebook, Twitter, or your blog

When you want to share SkyDrive files on a website, you can copy the SkyDrive link and paste it to any site you want. You can even embed Excel and PowerPoint documents right on your website. SkyDrive also has a built-in share option for Facebook and Twitter.
