To share a folder or document from your SharePoint, follow the steps below: 1. In SharePoint, navigate to the document/folder you'd like to share, hover over it with your cursor and select the 3 dots. In the drop down menu, select "Share" 2. After selecting Share, you should be prompted with a new window. Before we can proceed with granting access to someone, first click the cog wheel (settings) icon in the top right to view Sharing Settings: 3. From Sharing Settings, you're able to designate who should be able to receive access to a folder or document (People within our organization, people with existing access to the SharePoint, or people you specify).  By selecting the "Can View" drop down, you can determine whether or not the recipient of the link will be able to edit or only view the content of the folder/document you send them. Finally, there is an option to allow or block the recipient from downloading the content. 4. After the Sharing Settings have been configured, click Apply and you should be brought back to the original window from step 2. In the top window, add groups, names or emails to the individuals you're sharing content with. You can add a message in the window below if necessary.  You can then either copy the link and send it out (if this method is used, the recipients will need to use that link each time they want to access the resource), or you can click Send and the recipients should receive an email which will take them to the document/folder/resource.

To add a SharePoint link to your File Explorer, see the following steps: 1. Navigate to your SharePoint and select the folder you want to sync with File Explorer. For my example below, I've selected the "Documents" folder within my ITSSC SharePoint:  In this example, every folder or document within the ITSSC "Documents" folder, will be added to my File Explorer. To do this, click "Sync" at the top of the screen (highlighted for convenience).  Once the sync completes, you should be able to access everything within that location from your File Explorer. 

To specify access for specific folders/documents for your team within SharePoint, please see the steps below: 1. In SharePoint, navigate to the folder/document you want to edit access permissions for and hover over it with your cursor. While hovering, select the 3 horizontal dots and a drop down menu should appear. Within the drop  down menu, select "Manage Access" 2. From the Manage Access window, we're given options to Grant Access (highlighted in the top right), we can also view People, Groups and Links that have access to the resource. People represent individual users with access, regardless of their SharePoint group. Groups represent specific Groups or Teams within SharePoint. Links represent any links that will take users directly to the resource.  For example, if you'd like your entire team/department to have access to a folder, you'd need to "Grant Access" and then enter the name of your Team/Department, then specify if they should have view or edit access to that folder/document. 3. After you've added any groups or individual users to the permissions list, they should be able to access the resource by navigating to it's location on SharePoint. If you leave "Notify People" checked, they should receive an email alerting them of their access with a link to the resource. If they are not apart of your group in SharePoint, they'll need to access the resource through a direct link.

To add a new member to your Sharepoint Group, login to Sharepoint and use the left pane to select the Team / Group you'd like to work from (you can also search for Groups / Teams in the Search Bar at the top). After selecting your desired Group, click the cog wheel (Settings) in the top right corner of the screen. In the Settings pane, click "Site Permissions" Click "Add Members", click "Add Members to Group" and then type in the email(s) of the new group Members / Owners. You should see suggestions come up to choose from as you type After your members have been selected, you'll need to use the drop down options to specify their level of permission (Member / Owner). The individuals you specify will receive an email letting them know that they have gained access to the Group.
