Updates to secure external sharing

  • Earlier this year, we launched the new secure external sharing experience using one-time passcodes and we’ve heard lots of great feedback from our community and users. While many of you loved the new end-user experience, you felt that some of the management capability of our old external sharing platform was missing. The team is committed to bringing our end users and IT admins the best of both worlds.
  •  We are now rolling out our first update to the secure external sharing experience to improve the management story. Going forward, recipients of secure external sharing who also use Office 365 in their organization will be able to sign-in using their credentials to access the document. After they have entered the one time passcode for verification the first time, they will authenticate with their O365 account and have a full guest account created in the host’s organization. This means that IT admins can manage them like any other guest account in their directory. This feature will begin rolling out in the next few weeks and should be available to all production customers by the end of August.
