Microsoft OneDrive can be the perfect replacement to your growing local network servers. Even better, each users OneDrive storage quota does not count against your overall SharePoint Online storage quota. Everyone who has use rights to a Personal Site (formerly known as My Sites) have access to OneDrive for Business, with a one TB personal storage quota. OneDrive for Business is simple cloud storage for your employees. #2 – Kill off that network share with OneDrive for Business With effective policies in place, it’s simply a matter of enabling external access, and that’s it. You can also generate Guest Links, which allow Read or Edit permissions to be granted without requiring authentication, while allowing the Guest Links to be revoked at any time.Īs an IT Director, you should still establish polices regarding external sharing, what data types or content areas are allowed to be shared externally, and who should audit external permissions. Your users can share sites, folders, and individual documents with external users, who simply tie a Microsoft Account to their corporate e-mail address. With SharePoint Online, granting external access has never been easier. Regardless of the method you choose, it is going to require a decent amount of human effort to set up and maintain. Perhaps you decide to create a new, external facing Web Application, and sync certain content from the internal Web Application. Alternatively, you could provision domain users for those external entities. You could extend the content Web Application, configure Forms Authentication and then have your developer set up an ASP.NET page to manage credentials for the Forms Web Application.
In an on premise SharePoint environment, there is no out of the box method to share SharePoint content with users outside the domain. # 1 – Managing external user access is much easier With this blog post, I hope to highlight some of the advantages that you should consider as an IT Director when evaluating SharePoint Online.
While the benefits and advantages of this new cloud SharePoint are vast, many IT Directors are still hesitant to move important content to the cloud. Microsoft has made a significant shift in its SharePoint platform, moving into the cloud with the new Office 365 / SharePoint Online version.
