Users can add Files and Folders that have been shared with them from SharePoint or another user's OneDrive to their own OneDrive. Microsoft added a new feature in April 2022 allowing users to move these [links to] files or folders into different folders within their own OneDrive.
Instructions
- First, the file needs to be added to the user's OneDrive.
- From OneDrive Online, go to Shared with me. Search for the file or folder to add, then select it and click "Add short-cut to MyFiles"
- From SharePoint, navigate to the file or folder, select it and then click "Add Short-cut to OneDrive"
- Then the [link to] file or folder can be moved to the desired folder
- From OneDrive Online, go to MyFiles, click and drag the file or folder to the desired folder
- From the OneDrive client on your computer, open your OneDrive - University of Maine System folder, then find the file or folder you added to your OneDrive and then move it to the desired folder in your OneDrive.
NOTE: Make sure the folder you are moving it to is in your own OneDrive, NOT a folder that has been shared with you.
INFO: Moving the [link to] file or folder in your OneDrive will not change the permissions on the file or folder.
