This is a great option if whole departments or groups of colleagues need to share with entities outside the organization. Since it’s not set up to be shared out of a personal location, Teams offers great survivability.
*THERE ARE SOME CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING FILE STRUCTURE WHEN IT COMES TO SHARING EXTERNALLY FROM TEAMS. PLEASE REACH OUT TO RESILIENT SUPPORT TO ASSIST WITH THE INITIAL CONSULTATION AND SETUP*
-What it can look like:
Each Department of your organization can have a team (ex. Finance, HR, etc.). Inside the team, a channel can be created specifically to share information with outside entities.
A finance team could share out folders with clients, enabling the client and your organization to upload invoices, receipts, etc.:
Your HR department could have an external share with potential hires to share paperwork that needs to be filled out:
Sharing can be controlled, so if an external recipient should no longer have access to a shared folder, they can be removed. Since the sharing is set up through Teams and not tied to any one user, this solution to sharing data is great for ongoing scenarios.
Its also very flexible in how it can be set up, so please contact Resilient Networks for a consultative call!
