Share multiple files from OneDrive or SharePoint
It would be great if we could select files in OneDrive or SharePoint, and 'share' them simultaneously, to avoid having to create a folder in which to group files to be shared.

Been thinking about this issues since the fruitation of onedrive and sharepoint. Would be good if this is implemented as soon as possible.

This feature is very needed. Especially for SharePoint online. Also a feature must be implemented to share multiple links to sharepoint file in one e-mail at the same time.

This seems so obvious I could not believe I did not find how to do it. I spent quite a long time searching for it online.
Try th Dropbox add on for gmail on chrome. I want just that. It's simple and perfect (recent files, explorer, search bar. what else?)
It's the only thing the make me stay with Dropbox despite having 1TO on Onedrive. -

The current workflow has two options: share each file individually, or create a new folder and share the folder. Neither of the current workflow options are good.
We should be able to click multiple files and simultaneously share them. That's a simple feature.

And please, as one of the options, allow sharing multiple files as attachments to desktop Outlook (not only Outlook on the web). Desktop Outlook has some third party add-ins critical to our business workflows.

Yes, please fix this, it's embarrassing when i am tutoring clients who i move to Microsoft 365 and in File Explorer i have to make a folder and move files into that folder just to be able to share those files because i can't select multiple BUT you can do it on OneDrive Personal. That is absurd. Most if not all clients want to use File Explorer, not the web version of OneDrive so stop trying to force them to do something they don't want to do............ Where have i heard that before..........
Update - I thought you could do it in Web Version but you can't there either so please just fix this

I work for national governing body of sport, we capture short video clips of particular events, align them with data of these events in a document library then export to excel to share with all our stakeholders. Currently we have to add the share with anyone link to every event, on average there is 200 a week. I will be moving to another product shortly if Microsoft refuse to address this issue.

+3 for the amount of files I'd at least like to be able to 'share' at once

Ridiculous oversight by the designers! Fix it now. This is a business necessity not a video game option.

this is fundamentally basic requirement, its a feature whose absence will make our implementation much tougher

If you can't do this.... AT LEAST reinstate the 'Share and Track' feature: Send-as Links/attachment via an outlook email" (single or multiple files)!
Moving files to a folder every time we have to communicate a change in status on a group of files is RIDICULOUS. Files evolve and at different speeds. I'd easily create 40+ folders in a day
Manually copying each link over to an email is my only option now - thanks, that's really inefficient!

Just incredible. MS wants us to adopt their vision on searching files in a container, but most users just adhere to their way of ordening files in folders. Please find a way to share folders not just individual files.

This is embarrassing that Microsoft haven't done this. I just started using Teams with my company a week ago and i was convinced I must have been missing something when trying to find this feature. Nope, Microsoft just haven't bothered (or technically can't??) to add this feature. Unbelievable for a company of this size and resource.

I cant believe this was suggested back in 2016 and now in 2020 MS still haven't added this feature. This should be a critical feature for a business and one that I'm sure a lot of companies have walked away from SharePoint because of it.
