Best Practices for Secure File Sharing on OneDrive

  • Ensure you use strong permissions settings to allow only necessary personnel access to your files and folders. For instructions on managing access to your files and folders, click HERE.

 

  • When granting access via a link, ensure that you put an expiration date on the link to prevent permanent access, set it to work for as few people as possible, and only allow the minimum access necessary.
  • If you make the link accessible to anyone, you can set a password to protect it.
