I have often used file sharing on OneDrive. This can be used to create a shortcode url link which can be passed to anyone else for use. The following options are available:
- A link may be emailed to a set of people, or copied directly as text and forwarded/send using any other means you like. It can also be used as the target of another url, such as a bit.ly one or in my case, a sailent soft shared url.
- A link may be view only or editable
- A link may be password protected by clicking the settings gearwheel on the intial share dialog for a file, and an expiry date may also be set. Note however that these options are only available for a paid for office 365 onedrive service, i.e. you must pay to upgrade a free account before you can password protect.
