Stop sharing OneDrive files or folders or change permissions

Stop sharing OneDrive files or folders or change permissions

You can stop sharing an item, or change the permissions others have to it, if you are the owner of the item or have edit permissions.

Your browser does not support video. Install Microsoft Silverlight, Adobe Flash Player, or Internet Explorer 9.

Here are the steps:

  1. Select the circle in the upper corner of the shared item, and then tap or click the Information icon on the bar at the top of the page.

  2. To stop sharing a link, in the Details pane, select the X next to a link to disable it.

    To stop sharing with a person or group, select that person or group's permissions, and then select Stop sharing. To change a person or group's permissions between editing and only viewing, select the permissions you want to change.
