  2. Start WinRAR and click on "Add".  You can browse to the folder you want to zip, click on Set Password and save as a .zip file
    highlighted - Archive name: Test Zip.zip, Archive format - bubbled ZIP, and set password... button
  3. Upload the file to OneDrive for Business
  4. Share the .zip file with an anonymous link (Get a Link and set as View - not Edit)
  5. Email the password to the user in a separate email
