One of your administrative responsibilities is to determine external sharing.
So within your organization, you have to decide when someone is in, let's say, one drive.
Are you going to allow them to share documents and folders with people outside your organization?
So that's a choice that's made your default could be internal that you can only share with people inside
your organization.
You can change that default.
That says it is shareable.
Anyone who has a link so you can copy and paste that link globally, it doesn't matter.
Anyone who's got the link can get in or you can make sure that all sharing is very direct, which means
only specific people.
So we've got anyone and everyone.
We've got everyone in your organization or only who I say this is the one that I use the most and I
use that the most because security is such an important topic nowadays that you just don't want that
information public.
Unless, of course, that's the whole point of the site.
So this is where your one drive content, if you're newer to these terms, one drive.
Think about the my documents folder.
But for you in the cloud.
So I've got my one drive.
The people who work for me have their one drive in, only I have permission to mine unless I choose
to share it.
Well, the same thing goes for SharePoint only SharePoint is company wide data.
So it's that server that's got all the data for the entire organization public to the organization.
But if someone has content on SharePoint, do you want them to be able to share it outside the organization?
So what you're doing here is you're setting your defaults.
If you set the default on internal, then when I'm sharing something in one drive, I can decide direct.
It's at that point more of a training opportunity.
But there are some advanced settings for these sharable links.
So this is the default link type when you share.
But these are the advanced settings and that's whether or not you want to allow or block it for specific
domains, whether or not they have to accept sharing invitations using the same account they were sent
to.
So if you sent it to Sandra Batiatus at Gmail dot com, then unless I was logging on with that address,
it won't do it or let external users share items they don't know.
Again, you have to determine the security limits of your organization.
