Create Shared Library On Mac

by

When you're working as a team — in Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, or Outlook—you should save your files where your team works, because OneDrive for Business connects you to all your shared libraries, too.

Tip: You can also generate sharing links through the OneDrive desktop app for Windows 7, Windows 10, and Mac. All you need to do is right-click the file or folder in your OneDrive folder on your computer, and select Share a OneDrive link. This will copy a link to your clipboard that you can paste into an email, website, blog post, and so forth.

When you need a new shared location to store team files, create a site that contains a shared library right from OneDrive, add members, and start working together. A shared library is a location to store files which is backed by a Team Site, and is accessible within Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, or Outlook. And it’s easy to copy or move files where you and others need them.

Create a shared library

  1. In the OneDrive website, in the navigation under Shared libraries, click Create new.

  2. Give your new team site a name. (Unless you're using SharePoint Server 2019, Office 365 group email will be automatically generated with the same name as your team site.) As you type, you will see whether or not the name you've chosen is available. Once it's been verified that the name is available, fill in the additional fields that appear.

    Notes:

    • If offered, in the Privacy settings section, choose either Public - anyone in the organization can access this site or Private - only members can access this site to control who has access to your site.

    • If enabled by your admin, choose a site classification in the Site classification section. The options listed can pertain to sensitivity of information or to the life-cycle of information in your library.

    Caution: Once you select a default language for your site and create the site, you can't change the language to something else later. You can, however, add alternate supported languages.

  3. Once you're done, click Next.

  4. While your site's finishing setup, add the names or email addresses of anyone else you want to manage the site in the Add additional owners field. (The site creator is automatically a member of the site owners group.) In the Add members field, add the name or email address for everyone you want to be a member of your site, and then click Finish.

    Note: You'll get a Redirecting notification, and then you'll be taken to the new site you just created. You can customize this as needed (in the upper right, click Next Steps), or you can go straight to Documents. Upload files and folders there just like you do in OneDrive.

  5. Go back to your OneDrive page and refresh it. You should now see your new Library listed. (You may need to click More libraries if you have several there already.)

How to share your library or create a new team library. Whether you want to share your existing EndNote library with up to 99 colleagues, or work as a team to create a new library from scratch, it’s easy to get started. Just open your (most important so called your 'master') library in EndNote. Go to 'File Share'. Find shared folders in your OneDrive. Shared folders you've added to your OneDrive appear in the OneDrive website in your Files view. If you use the OneDrive sync app on your computer, you can sync the folder to your computer. On a Windows PC, find the folder in Windows Explorer; on a Mac computer, use the Finder to locate it.
