More about shared folders on your OneDrive Can I still access shared folders if I don't add them to my OneDrive? Yes, you can access them from your Shared list on OneDrive.com or in the OneDrive mobile apps. You can still copy, move, edit, rename, share, and delete anything in the folder.

Shared

What happens if I move items into or out of a shared folder? When you move items between shared folders, they lose their existing permissions and get the permissions from the folder you moved them to. For example, if you move an item to a read-only folder, the item becomes read-only as well. Moving an item from a shared folder to an unshared folder means that item is no longer shared with anyone. If you move items only within a shared folder, there is no change to any of the assigned permissions.

What happens if I move the shared folder itself? You can't move shared folders on OneDrive.com. If you sync OneDrive to your computer, any shared folder you move is copied to the destination location and then removed from your OneDrive. It is still available in your Shared list.

TIP: Be careful when moving folders, as it can affect the folder's sharing permissions. If you move a shared folder into another folder, it takes the permissions of the destination folder. This means people can access it only if they also have permissions to the destination folder - if the destination folder isn't shared, then the folder you moved is also not shared anymore. Can I rename a shared folder that I’ve added to my OneDrive?

Yes, you can. The new name you give to the folder is visible only to you, and will appear with that name anywhere you access your OneDrive, including OneDrive.com, the OneDrive app on your computer, or the OneDrive mobile apps. The name change won’t be visible to the shared folder owner, nor anyone else with permissions to the folder. NOTE: Only the owner of a shared folder can restore an item deleted from the folder.

How can I remove a shared folder that I've added to my OneDrive? On OneDrive.com, in Files view, select the shared folder you want to remove, then click Remove from my OneDrive. This only removes the folder from your OneDrive - it is still accessible from your Shared list and doesn't affect the owner or anyone else sharing the folder. If you delete the folder instead, it's deleted from everyone's OneDrive and the folder owner would have to restore it.

NOTE: If you sync OneDrive to one or more computers, removing a shared folder from your OneDrive also removes it from those computers. What happens if the owner stops sharing a folder that I've added to my OneDrive?

If a folder is no longer shared with you, it is removed from your OneDrive. To get back your access to the folder, ask the owner or an editor to share it with you again.
