This is an old revision of the document!
Sharing is invite or link-based. Though you can see the Team, folder path and filename in the resulting share link.
The default sharing setting for our organization is Specific people
Most Teams have Anyone
(Public) sharing enabled as an option.
Either select Share (best for inviting existing users to a folder or document) or Copy Link
Both allow you to select a sharing level, Anyone
through People you choose
.
Some considerations:
Anyone
setting in addition gives options for setting an expiry time or a password.
To avoid having to manually create links to every document to publish, you may want to create a "Public Share" folder, create an Anyone
link from it with no expiry and use that in website or materials. This way you can drop files into this public folder and they become public for anyone with that link automatically.
The downside is they can browse all other documents in that folder. But these already should be public.
It may also be fewer steps to invite a guest (such as temporary collaborator) to the Team and add them to a "Shared channel" directly.
