I'm sharing a OneDrive folder with a few other photographers. We upload photo project shots weekly. None of the photographers I've added can delete, rename, or otherwise change a photo, once uploaded. Also where I can add details to my uploads -- Exif data; Camera specifics; remarks etc ... none of the photographers I've added can add any details to the shots they upload. They can all post, and they can see the posts of everyone in the group, but that's all they can do. I want them to have the same ability to change, delete, rename, and add shot-specific details that I have.

    Thanks - I tried what you suggested:

    Change permissions

    Right-click on a shared folder or file, navigate to OneDrive and then select Manage access.

    1. Do one of the following:
      • Select Grant access to share with more people.
      • Select Links to change permissions. Select the Can edit or Can view dropdown to change permissions or Remove direct access.
      • Change permissions
        1. Right-click on a shared folder or file, navigate to OneDrive and then select Manage access.
        2. Do one of the following:
          • Select Grant access to share with more people.
          • Select Links to change permissions. Select the Can edit or Can view dropdown to change permissions or Remove direct access.
      I can see the names of everyone I granted access to - and next to each name it says "The People you specify can edit". Each name has the link to join the private OneDrive Folder. Each name can post. When I right-click and "manage permissions" I see that everyone has edit permissions, yet no one can add a comment; delete a photo; or even rename a photo they've submitted.
