If you want to copy a link instead of specifying email recipients, click the Copy Link button near the bottom right of the share window. You can then paste the link wherever you want to share it. By default, only people with existing access can view or edit the file or folder. Adjust access to include "People you choose" or "People in Southern Illinois University Edwardsville" from the settings gear icon.
