Anybody speak Microsoft?
Microsoft's "SkyDrive" has been renamed to "OneDrive".
Maybe something to do with oneness. I have a shared folder with these options... View Only Anyone with this link can see the files you share Edit Anyone with this link can edit the files you share Public Anyone can search for and view your public files, even if you don't share a link Question... Even though the word "download" isn't mentioned one single time in all of that, should we assume that "share" means "allow others to download"? Anyone who has downloaded a file can edit the file. So I guess we're supposed to assume that "edit" means "download, edit, and upload". I could use a Microsoft dictionary...

On that page further down, you will see the obscure terminology referring to sharing of files in your shared folder. I guess Microsoft is thinking about text documents that you might view right there on the site. That terminology is just weird when applied to files in general.

I guess Microsoft is thinking about text documents that you might view right there on the site. That terminology is just weird when applied to files in general. The definitions on that page refer only to files on your skydrive (now "onedrive") account. It gives you the option to allow people to edit your online documents (while they are online) - this is especially beneficial in a work environment where several people are working on the same project and/or when someone needs to review & comment on your document. While I believe they can download the document, they can't upload a replacement or edited document; the changes must be made online. Pretty sure this is correct but it's been awhile since I did any collaboration on skydrive, er onedrive.

I guess Microsoft is thinking about text documents that you might view right there on the site. That terminology is just weird when applied to files in general. If you allow someone to have access to shared content on OneDrive (fka SkyDrive), the can view it and download it. If you also provide edit capability they can change it. Just because someone can download the file (and edit it locally) does not mean they can upload and/or replace the file on the shared OneDrive location. http://1drv.ms/1gQ4m3j One can easily test this by creating or uploading content on their OneDrive (fka SkyDrive), get the shared link (e.g View Only), sign out of OneDrive,and paste the link in a browser window to access the files without being signed on. If you provide edit capability for Office files, the recipient would have to logon with a MSFT account to edit them in the web UI's Office Apps. -- ....winston msft mvp consumer apps
