Give User Access to Another User's OneDrive in Office 365

You can give another user access to your OneDrive in Office 365 by sharing a file or folder with them.

To do this, you can invite the user to edit or view the file or folder, allowing them to access it directly from their own OneDrive.

The user you're giving access to will receive an email invitation to access the shared file or folder, and they can accept or decline it at their discretion.

Once the user accepts the invitation, they'll be able to access the shared file or folder from their own OneDrive, and they can also share it with others if needed.

You can also give a user access to another user's OneDrive by adding them as a co-owner of a file or folder, which allows them to edit and manage the content.

To grant access to another user's OneDrive, you can use the SharePoint Admin Center. Log into the Microsoft 365 Admin Center and select SharePoint under Admin Centers. From there, you can find the profile of the user you want to give access to and add them as a Site Collection Administrator.

You can also use PowerShell to grant access to another user's OneDrive. To do this, you'll need to install the PowerShell module for Microsoft Online using the command Install-Module -Name MSOnline. Once installed, you can use the command Add-SPOUser to give the user access to a specific OneDrive account.

To access someone else's OneDrive, you'll need their permission. You can request access by sending an email or chat asking them to share their OneDrive files with you. They can share the folder with you via a link, which you can access by clicking on it. You can then view or edit the folder's contents depending on the permissions granted.

Here are the steps to follow when requesting access to someone else's OneDrive:

One of the most straightforward ways to give another user access to a OneDrive account is by using the Add-SPOUser cmdlet. This cmdlet grants the owner full control over all OneDrive content to another user. For example, you can use the following command to give Jack Ackles access to ABC User's OneDrive: "Add-SPOUser -Site https://companyname-my.sharepoint.com/personal/username -LoginName [email protected] -Role Owner".
