They are shared with: Just me To share a folder, click the Share drop- down menu, then click Edit permissions. Note: Folder permissions are configured at the top folder. All files/subfolders are governed by the permission settings of the top folder. Thus, if a folder is shared, everything in that folder is also shared.
20 Windows Live SkyDrive The Edit permissions page includes the following options for sharing a folder: Me: Folder is private. Friends (3 levels): Folder is visible to Windows Live Network friends. Everyone: Folder is public (view only). Additional people: Folder is visible to specific people. Note: In Outlook Live/SkyDrive environments, you will likely not use the Friends options.
