That is great, and I guess it is secure. I remember someone that uses SharePoint a two year ago and he shared with me a bunch of folders and files. He sent me the link but I have to create a login with a password after a click on the link. How can I do that?<br><br><br>

Dear James,<br><br>I did that and the guest user has signed but he cannot see folders. Is this to do with his roles permissions, if so which permissions should we give to a guest user?

SharePoint - How to Share a folder only with external users

Microsoft Sharepoint is a software platform and family of software products used for collaboration and web publishing combined. These capabilities include developing web sites, portals, intranets, content management systems, search engines, wikis, blogs, and other tools for business intelligence and collaboration. SharePoint has a Microsoft Office-like interface, and it is closely integrated with the Office suite.

Office 365 is a group of software plus services subscriptions that provides productivity software and related services to its subscribers. Office 365 allows the use of Microsoft Office apps on Windows and OS X, provides storage space on Microsoft's cloud storage service OneDrive, and grants 60 Skype minutes per month. Office 365 includes e-mail and social networking services through hosted versions of Exchange Server, Skype for Business Server, SharePoint and Office Online, integration with Yammer, as well as access to the Office software. All of Office 365's components can be managed and configured through an online portal; users can be added manually, imported from a CSV file, or Office 365 can be set up for single sign-on with a local Active Directory using Active Directory Federation Services.
