Suppose that you have a bunch files that you want to share with your teammates. The last thing you want to do is email a bunch of files around, and you don't want to have to share them out one at a time. You can share a folder in OneDrive for Business so that your teammates can view and edit all the files in that folder.

Want more?
This week, my team needs to update several documents.
The files are saved to my OneDrive for Business library, and I can access them from anywhere.
Now I want to share the files with my teammates. I've signed into Office 365 and selected OneDrive.
As you can see, there are several files in here. It would take a long time to share them out, one by one.
To speed things up, I'll go back and select the whole folder, then choose Share. And my share dialog box opens.
I'll enter my teammates' email addresses. And I'll enter a short message here.
After I click Share, my teammates will get an email message with a link to the folder.
Now all of us can work on those files, wherever we are.
