SharePoint How to stop site and file and folder sharing

In SharePoint, sharing settings can be managed at multiple levels: at the organization level, the site collection level, and the individual site level. Also, file and folder sharing can be controlled within a SharePoint site. Here's a brief guide on how to adjust these settings:

• Go to the SharePoint admin center by selecting 'Admin' from the App Launcher in Office 365. If you don't see the 'Admin' option, you likely don't have administrative privileges.
• Select 'Active sites' under 'Sites'.
• Find the site you wish to manage, and click on it.
• Under the 'Policies' tab in the panel on the right, select 'Sharing'.
• Adjust the sharing capabilities to your desired level. To disable sharing entirely, select the 'Only people in your organization' option.
• Click 'Save'.

 

• Navigate to the site where you want to stop file and folder sharing.
• Select 'Site contents' from the left-hand menu.
• Click on the respective document library.
• From the menu at the top, select 'Library settings'.
• Under 'Permissions and Management', click 'Permissions for this document library'.
• On the permissions page, you can manage the access rights for different user groups. You can stop sharing by either removing groups' permissions or by setting all groups to 'Read', which allows people to see files, but not share or edit them.

 

• Go to the SharePoint admin center as explained in the first step.
• Select 'Sharing' from the left-hand menu.
• Under 'Sharing outside your organization', select the 'Only people in your organization' option.
• Click 'Save'.

Please note that these are general instructions and actual steps might vary slightly based on the specific SharePoint and Office 365 version you're using. You need to be an admin to change these settings.

Also, it's essential to plan sharing policies carefully to balance collaboration needs with security and compliance. Disabling sharing entirely may impact productivity if users can't collaborate effectively.

SharePoint is a powerful platform that allows users to collaborate and share data in the workplace. However, it's important to know how to properly manage user access and remove users from sites, files, and folders that they are no longer authorized to use. In this video, I show you how to stop site and file and folder sharing in SharePoint, so that you can maintain the security of your data.

The first step in stopping site and file and folder sharing is to remove users from any sites that they have been given access to. This can be done by going to the "Site Settings" page and selecting the "People and Groups" option. From there, you can select the users that you want to remove and click the "Remove User" button.

Once the users have been removed, you can then stop file and folder sharing by going to the "Library" page in SharePoint. This page will show you all of the files and folders that have been shared with users. To remove the users, simply select the checkbox next to the file or folder that you want to remove and then click the "Remove User" button.

Finally, you can also stop the sharing of documents by going to the "Document Library" page in SharePoint. This page will show you all of the documents that have been shared with users. To remove the users, simply select the checkbox next to the document that you want to remove and then click the "Remove User" button.

By following these steps, you can quickly and easily stop site and file and folder sharing in SharePoint. This will help to ensure that your data is secure, and that only users who are authorized to access it are able to do so.
