    2. Select the Add-ins menu:
      • Add-in button in Skype for mobile and tablet.
      • Add-in button in Skype for desktop.
    3. Select OneDrive OneDrive add-in.
    4. Select the file, photo or folder you would like to share a link to in your Skype chat.

    Things to keep in mind when using the OneDrive add-in:

    • If you experience issues opening the OneDrive add-in, or if you don't see the files you are looking for, make sure you are signed into the same account that you use for both OneDrive and Skype.
