If you would like to share files with Clemson or non-Clemson users, one tool to use is Microsoft OneDrive.  It is available at 365.clemson.edu. Here are some instructions for a Clemson user to share a folder in OneDrive.

1. You should first create a folder in OneDrive and click on the share link beside the folder.

5. Now a window will open with the shared folder.  If the collaborator is a Clemson user, it will open OneDrive showing the folder. If the collaborator is an external user, they will see a window like this that allows them to view, select or download the files.
