How To Share Files From OneDrive
Summary
Although there are hospitals share files, it requires permission to access them. By default, each person is given specific share files based on their job title. Accessing additional file shares outside your job title requires a formal request through the IT portal. It will always require a manager's approval.
If you want to share a file amongst yourselves, you can share your files from your own OneDrive. As you may already know, OneDrive is stored in the Cloud and it's HIPAA compliant. It's really no different than hospital file shares other than giving users more flexibility on sharing files. The only caveat is it requires ownership of the file. So if someone leaves the company, they have to make sure they transfer ownership to the next person.
Instructions

- If you don't see any of your file shares, this means you have not signed into OneDrive. Look for the OneDrive icon on your taskbar. It will be grey instead of blue. Click on it and sign into OneDrive. Follow the prompts and allow some time for your files to sync. It will be accessible afterward.
