Empowering secure external collaboration in M365 without slowing down your business.
Microsoft 365 is a powerful collaboration platform that streamlines data sharing and boosts workplace productivity. With features designed to simplify workflows, enable seamless collaboration, and support hybrid work, M365 can transform how organizations operate—provided that modern data governance practices are adopted alongside it.
The challenge lies in enforcing the right security and compliance policies within the user workflow—without disrupting processes or frustrating data owners with restrictive controls.
The Power (and Risk) of Link-Based Sharing in M365
One of M365’s biggest advantages—and challenges—is its shift from file-based to link-based sharing. Instead of attaching files, users can generate shareable links or invite colleagues to access documents directly from Teams, OneDrive, SharePoint, and other M365 apps.
This model improves collaboration and version control. Users can:
⇀ Easily set permissions (view/edit)
⇀ Limit access to specific users or groups
⇀ Avoid duplication and outdated file versions
But without the right data governance in place, link sharing can also lead to data leakage, accidental oversharing, or compliance risks—especially when sharing externally.
eSHARE Collaborate: Policy-Driven Sharing in Real Time
eSHARE Collaborate is a Microsoft-certified enhancement to M365 that enables secure, frictionless link-based sharing with external users—without slowing down your business. It fits natively into the M365 workflow to apply real-time policy decisions right when users share links.
Here’s how it works:
⇥ It reads risk signals from M365 (user role, sensitivity labels, DLP, etc.)
⇥ It evaluates those signals in the context of the workflow
⇥ It prompts policy actions only when needed, without interrupting productivity
For example, if a Teams user tries to share a document labeled “Confidential” with an external partner, eSHARE Collaborate may require a business justification—directly within the Teams interface—before allowing access.
Designed for Productivity, Built for Security
With eSHARE Collaborate, you don’t need to choose between user experience and security. You get:
↣ Secure external collaboration across Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive
↣ Policy-based link management without disrupting workflows
↣ Compliance support built into the sharing experience
