External Sharing in SharePoint and OneDrive is changing: What You Need to Know

In an ongoing effort to create a more secure environment by default, Microsoft is introducing an important security update that will affect how external users access content shared through SharePoint and OneDrive.

MVP 2017-2018

Microsoft moved their renewal cycle from having re rewards every quarter to renew all existing MVPs at the same time (July 1st). Mine used to be April 1, and many of my friends were wondering if my MVP status was just another April fools joke. At least the very first time.

Thank you to the MVP team at Microsoft, and congratualtions to all new and renewed MVP's
