"Camping with K" go: how we quickly organized a 20-people travel in the SkyDrive Web Excel,

This week we continue to new features that we have available published recently in Excel Web for all users on SkyDrive. This post is brought to you by Lee Bizek, Program Manager on the Excel team.

My wife and I go Korrin tents each year with our closest friends. Since she is not a fan of camping without running water or electricity, we provide all amenities of the normal life the hike over at a friend's chalet, where we have the term "Camping with a K."

This variety of camping requires a bit more orchestration, so every year we must organize, who will do it, when people come and go, those who cook the meal is and what "camping necessities" are bringing people to the hut. Not everyone has an Outlook Live or Hotmail e-Mail account so have we had to file, e-Mail information collect, update our master copy and then send a final version before the weekend of camping.

With the announcement of easier collaboration on SkyDrivehave things a WHOLE LOT easier! Now we can link with all our friends, which share a file and you can edit the workbook, even simultaneously log on without using a Microsoft account!

Here is how we'll do it.

We must first upload or create the file on SkyDrive. If the file exists, we can we can access SkyDrive, Web-Excel or even desktop Excel, the sharing dialog box, if you edit the file, of SkyDrive.

By SkyDrive:

Locate the Datei.Aktivieren check box in the upper right corner of the tile file. in the top menu, select sharing.
