Recommended browser settings for MetaShare

After having authenticated to MetaShare, MetaShare will do things in SharePoint, on behalf of the logged in user. In order to this, without any issues, it is recommended that both of these domains are added to the same security zones, e.g. the “Internet” zone.

  1. https://login.microsoftonline.com
  2. https://[your tenant’s name].sharepoint.com

If you do not want to get this message when opening certain types of documents, then both of these domains need to be added to the “Trusted sites” security zone:
Some files can contain viruses

  1. Open your computer’s “Internet Properties” (click on the computer’s start button and type “Internet Options”) and start the application.
  2. Click on the “Security tab”, then the zone where you want to add the domains and the click on the “Sites” button:
    Internet Properties' Security tab
  3. Add the domain in the field and click on the “Add” button:
