How to Review Security Risks Before Enabling External File Sharing

External sharing can expose files through broad links, unmanaged accounts, or permissions that persist after a project ends.

Checks to make

Identify data classes allowed for sharing, require named recipients where practical, set expiry and download controls, and log access. Assign an owner to review exceptions and remove access after the collaboration ends.

When to get help
