How you can share MS-Office files via MS-OneNote instead of directly through MS-SkyDrive
- Simple steps:
- Drag and drop your MS-Office File to your MS-OneNote page.
- When prompted, choose to “insert a copy” (rather than merely linking the original file).
- This puts a copy of the file in the MS-OneNote folder on your local drive,
- which (file and folder) gets synched with your online (MS-SkyDrive) version,
- which, if you shared it, gets synched with the MS-OneNote folder on the local drive of the PC of the person you are sharing with,
- who, by double-clicking, can open and edit his synched local version of MS-Office file in the corresponding MS-Office application.
- Stepping back:
- Benefit: If you have a working MS-OneNote-based workflow, embedding MS-Office file can quickly extend this workflow.
- Risk: If you do not share the MS-OneNote with other editors, you should have no problem. Be aware, though, that concurrency is limited. Unlike accessing the MS-Office file in MS-Office through Office Web apps from MS-SkyDrive directly, editing the MS-Office file from MS-OneNote does not block updating the MS-Office file on remote computers – so expect synching conflicts later if you do not manage concurrency (e.g. by limiting editing sessions).
