You can use Microsoft OneDrive for Business to share photos, documents, other files, and entire folders with people. The files and folders you store in OneDrive for Business are private until you decide to share them, and you can revoke access at any time.
Use caution when sharing data with others in regards of legal, regulatory, and University policy requirements.
