Sharing in OneDrive Without Recipient Notification

I always seem to fumble with sharing files in OneDrive and my recipients receive multiple notifications. This post is instructions for me to hopefully reduce that

1. Open barr.onedrive.com (this is my work, replace this address with a site/location where you typically access your own OneDrive files).

2. Click the name of the file you want to send, it will preview it in a window.

3. Tap “Share” in upper right corner.

4. Tap “Manage Access”.

5. Tap “Links”.

6. Tap “Share”.

7. In the “Add a name, group or email” field, type in the email address you wish to send a link to.

8. Click the three dots and choose “Send link in Outlook”.

These steps will likely change with future OneDrive revisions and before I next need to share a file, but at least these instructions might get me on a notification-free track.
