Using a workflow to share documents with external users

I'm trying to create a workflow that will share documents with external users. Those external users don't have SharePoint logons.
One approach might be to send an email using a 2010 workflow. However there doesn't appear to be the ability to attach a document to that email.
The other approach could be to use the Share function of SharePoint 2013 but can this be triggered using a workflow? If so how?
Please note: I'm using SharePoint Online
Thanks in Advance,

Hi Mark,
You can use external sharing option in SharePoint Online. Below links might help:

  • How can i share documents with different users on the same mac?

    How can i share documents with different users on the same mac?

    Shared how? The other users can read the documents or you all can read and write the documents?
    The first is easy just place the documents in /Users/Shared anyone can access the files there and the other users will be able to read them.
    The second is a bit trickier.

  • Can I share documents with other users with iCloud as opposed to MobileMe?

    Can I share documents with other users with iCloud as opposed to MobileMe?

    No. iCloud provides no equivalent of the iDisk; it's designed for syncing calendars, email, bookmarks, contacts, photos a iWork (only, so far) documents between your Mac(s) and iPhone/iPod/iPad. The data is not accessible to anyone else.
    For file storage and sharing you will need a third-party solution - this page examines some options:

  • Cannot share documents with few users in one way trusted domain

    Hello
    I am running in a wiered issue. I setup people picker in SP 2013 foundation version to lookup the user from one way trusted domains after which I started getting all the users from that domain in my intranet. I can also share or modify the permission of
    users being administrator. However when I try to add 2 specific users as site collection administrator or try sharing a document, I get error.
    I can lookup their name but when I try changing their permission or share document with them, I get error. It's wiered because it is only with this two users. there is no difference from Active Directory point of view between these and other users. Please
    help or suggest some trouble shooting steps.
    Regards,
    Hardik Bhilota.

    Hi Hardik,
    What was the error message when sharing documents with the two users?
    Please also check the ULS log for detailed error message which is located at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS.
    What is the permission of the two users in SharePoint site? Can they access the site?
    Please also run the two commands below to see if the issue still occurs:
    First, on every front-end Web server on a farm run this command:
    STSADM.exe -o setapppassword -password key
    Second, on a front-end Web server run this command:
    STSADM.exe -o setproperty -pn peoplepicker-searchadforests -pv domain:DnsName,user,password -url http:// webapp
    Best regards.

  • Public SharePoint Online Site with External User Portal

    Hello Everyone,<o:p></o:p>
    My company switched over to Office 365 a few months ago, and now would like to start using our Public SharePoint site to share information (documents
    pertaining to their orders/drawings/etc.) with our customers (external users).<o:p></o:p>
    <o:p> </o:p>
    I have seen documentation on how to share documents with individual users, but we were looking to do something a little bit different. We would ultimately
    like to have a public site with generic company information (like hours, about us,directions etc.) that anyone can see.
    We would also like to use SharePoint as almost an "FTP type" service where we could post documents and share them with individual
    external
    users. HOWEVER, instead of sharing individual documents, we were wondering if there was a way that an external user (that we have granted
    access) could sign into the public SharePoint site, and then see information that ONLY pertains to them.
    I have been doing some research on this, and I haven't seen that anyone else has tried this. Has anyone had any luck? Or would you have suggestions on how to make
    this work? I had originally posted this question on the Office 365 SharePoint forum, and they suggested posting this question here. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Hi,
    did you finally manage to get what you requested here above ? Indeed, I am also struggling to set up the same (public website with individual content sharing with external authentified user).
    For external user, I am quite sure that we need to go through MS ID creation (I have created some test users using https://login.live.com).
    Our public website is done and (almost) working. I have then created a sub-site for the same, this one to manage permission based on authentified user
    But I am stuck when trying to assign a document library with relavant permission.
    Would be great to share our feedback and I have searched a lto on the web and did not find any satisfying answer to this design (If there is any... here is my doubt...)
    Thanks in advance

  • Is it possible to list information , that i have shared(i.e documents, sites etc) with external user.

    Hi,
    Is it possible to list information , that i have shared(i.e documents, sites etc) with external user. 

    Hi
    We have two version of SharePoint, one the online version and the other on-premise installation
    In online version, we can invite external users(liveID and google users) to have access to site and documents. This feature is provided by ADFS server already configured OOB in online version
    Onpremise version does not have by default the feature to share with external users or customers. we have to extend the site and provide different identity providers.The identity provider can be Active directory,SQL server,Claims,ADFS server which
    will support liveID

  • Can I share documents with others like I do with dropbox?

    I wanna know if I can share documents with iCloud Drive like I do with Dropbox. I would like to send a link to others so they can download files stored on my iCloud Drive.

    Not that I know of.  You might want to consider a different file sharing service such as Dropbox.

  • How can I share contacts with Android users via the "share contact" button via messaging or otherwise

    Appologies in advance if this has been asked before.
    I have an iPhone 5/iOS 6. My friend(s) use Android phones. At times, they request a contact I have, but every time I select "Share Contact" via the button in my iPhone's Contact list, either as an Email or Message, they recieve an unusable file format - in other words, it just doesn't get to them. If I manually copy and paste the fields into a txt, they will get the info. Is there an app, or something I need to do differently to be able to share contacts with Android users via the "Share Contact" button in iOS?
    Thanks,
    Nathan

    Shouldn't be an issue here, as the iPhone shares the contact info in standard vCard format.

  • In trying to share music with multiple user accounts on one comp, I quit itunes, located my itunes media folder, moved it to a publicly accessible location. Problem is it didn't work and now I can't get it all back to the way it was.

    In trying to share music with multiple users on one computer, I followed the directions on "iTunes:How to share music between different accounts on a single computer" (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1203). I did something wrong because i lost iTunes
    Tried to put files back, but it is not the same. Plugged in my ipod and it is not recognizing my computer.
    Can someone tell me where iTunes should be, and what sub files should be included with it. Thanks!

    If you are seeing the "Connect to iTunes" logo, then your device is in Recovery Mode, and you will need to restore it:

  • Can I share documents with other iCloud accounts in my family?

    Both me and my wife use iCloud, we have separate accounts, although they used to be a family account in the MobileMe world.
    I've just started using numbers and am impressed with iCloud integration however I want to be able to share some documents with my wife and vice versa.  I hoped this would work similar to calendar whereby you can invite another user to share the calendar.  For calendars it works brilliantly but I can't find anything similar with the documents.
    I can share a document via email but it would be good if we could sync certain documents.
    Does anyone know if this is possible?  If not, can someone tell me how I could submit feedback for iCloud to Apple?
    Many thanks
    Chris

    Unfortunately that isn't possible, if you have any suggestions that you think might enhance iCloud you can send Apple your feedback here.
