How do I share untrusted file types?
Some files with unique file extensions aren't trusted by Microsoft and can't be sent through email. To send these types of files to another person, you will need to use a file sharing service. Students, faculty and staff can use Microsoft OneDrive.

-
Make sure your file is saved in your OneDrive.
- For CUNE-issued devices, your Desktop, Documents, Music, Pictures, and Videos folders are all in your OneDrive already. (Desktop, Documents, Music folders only for Macs)
-
You can also upload files to OneDrive online.
-
Find the file, right-click it and select Share - it should have a blue cloud icon next to it.
-
Enter the email addresses of everyone you want to share it with.
-
Only click the pencil icon and select allow editing if you want those you're sharing it with to edit your copy of the file in your OneDrive. This is not recommended for most cases.
- Enter a message if you'd like and click Send.
Regardless of how you shared it, the recipient(s) should be able to download the file and make changes of their own.
