If you want, type a message to be included with an email that’s sent to all invitees. In the Share dialog box on the Invite People tab, type names or email addresses of people you want to share the document or folder with. Select the file you want to share, and then select Share. Go to OneDrive for Business or the site library that has the document or folder you want to share.
For details, see Share sites or documents with people outside your organization. NOTE You may also be able share documents with external users (people not on your network) by inviting them as “Guests,” or by creating and posting guest links. When you share documents and folders, you can decide whether to let people edit or just view them. Similarly, in a team site library, you may want to share specific documents or folders with people who don’t otherwise have access to the site. The documents and folders you store in OneDrive for Business are private until you decide to share them. However, remember, this option will remove ALL sharing for that user(s) across the WHOLE OneDrive for Business.Share documents or folders in OneDrive for Business If you do have a situation where you have large numbers of shared files or shared users in OneDrive for Business and you wish to make bulk removal easier, I’d encourage you to look at PowerShell as an option.

I also have another freely available script at: Note – This removes that users access to ALL files shared in the OneDrive for Business location, not just for a single file.

If you now look at the sharing option for file(s) in that OneDrive for Business you should find that the removed user no longer appears, as shown above. The removed users should not appear in the report as expected. Open the file and do a search for the external email address of the removed users. It will be in Excel format as you can see above.

The original user would then be prompted the Remove the external user, which they would do to remove access. The easiest way to achieve this would be simply to hit the cross next to the external users name in the web interface as shown above. One of the benefits of sharing using OneDrive for Business is that the sharing rights can easily be revoked by the original user if desired.
