#  How do I share read/view-only documents? 

 



Sharing files from OneDrive or Sharepoint permits sharing read/view only documents. This may be useful when sharing a slideshow with students that you do not wish them to download and edit, for example. Choose the option to share the file as a link and select options to *block download* and choose to share the link only with people in Harvard University, as shown here:
