Share a Folder of a "Office 365 Business" account with a "Free OnceDrive 5GB" account - And...

ChristianWymann · 7. Februar 2019

I am using the Office 365 Business Abo and it works great -> for one Person.

But now we hired a Freelancer and would like to share specific Folders with him.

The Problem is, that the Freelancer needs to work in the webbrowser if he works with my files.

His account type/plan is "OneDrive 5GB" (which is the free version)

He does not see the folders under "shared with me" and therefor can't use them / add them to his Offline-Sync Folder list.

YES we can "can edit" rights

YES we did create a link for his specific windows live e-mail address / account.

How can we solve this "he can't use offline-sync" problem??

In the MS-Documentation it says no problem and there is a procedure description - but I guess it only works between Business accounts?

Many thanks for at least reading my request ...

Regards

Chris

Hallo Christian,

vielen Dank für deine Anfrage.

Das kann man leider nicht. Sehe bitte
hier unter Gast Konten. Die werden die freigegebenen Dateien nur mit dem Browser zugreifen können. Diese Option wurde im

UserVoice bereits angeboten und du kannst gern zustimmen. Die Entwickler überlegen immer noch die Möglichkeit und haben die Idee nicht abgelehnt.

P.S. Hier im Deutschen Office 365 für Business Forum wird auf Deutsch geschrieben. Wenn du Unterstützung auf Englisch bevorzugst, kannst du gern deine Anfragen in dem
Englischen Forum erstellen.

Freue mich auf deine Rückmeldung.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

Again, that logo may be just a Microsoft mistake.

Office 365 and Office 2019 share a lot of code and cross-over happens.

The place to check is in the Account window under File in any of the applications.

Vielen Dank für das Feedback. Also ich möchte einen Ordner freigeben und wähle "Teilen" und bei darauffolgenden Dialog ein Microsoft-Account. Dieses wird aber nicht "erkannt" (ein hotmail.com Account).

Habe ich nun zuwenig Rechte um den Folder zu teilen ("You need to be a Site Owner or have full control permissions to share a site with external users."). Wie kann ich dies überprüfen?

Danke

Hi Gam,

New computers often come with a trial version of Office 365. Users who attempt to install their own personal copy of Office 365 or Office 2016/2019 over the trial will often encounter a conflict that prevents them from using their copy.

Use the fix it tool to completely uninstall Office:

https://support.office.com/en-us/article/uninst...

Install your copy of Office 2019:

Step 1 - Sign in to download Office

Go to http://www.office.com and if you're not already signed in, select Sign in.

Sign in with the account you associated with this version of Office. This account can be a Microsoft account, or work or school account.

Forgot your account details? See I forgot the account I use with Office.

https://support.office.com/en-us/article/i-forg...

On the Office home page, do the following depending on your version of Office.

If you signed in with a Microsoft account, from the Office home page select Install Office > Install. (Office 365 subscribers should select Install again).

This begins the download of Office. Follow the prompts on your screen to complete the install.

Well, it doesn't. Let me tell you what does work:
1) backup your contacts to a .pst file
2) export your contacts to an Excel file
3) select and delete all your contacts
4) import the Excel file into your Contacts folder
5) copy the new contacts into the Contacts folder under your live account
6) sit back and enjoy the fact that now ALL contacts are synchronized with your live account
7) replace the contacts in your Personal folders with the back up (if you are afraid of data-loss and/or want to keep a file for your history - from now on you're going to use the contacts from your Live account folder)
