Windows 10: Alternate Method to report abusive OneDrive PDFs?

Is there an alternate method to report abusive PDFs than the site https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/concern/onedrive ?


We occasionally get phishing attempts with OneDrive PDFs shared as shareable links - therefore the file is not explicitly shared with me, nor does it have any connection to the victim the threat actor is pretending to be.


The "report abuse in OneDrive" page requires an email address associated with the file, that I am unable to give. It also complains about the URL itself, despite it being a good format.


The URL I'm trying to report is below, but with spaces introduced to prevent an automatic hyperlink. Also including an image of the rogue PDF.

https :// onedrive . live . com / ?authkey= %21AAfxiZz0R%5FOBpwQ & cid= E4916BF8C609FA9B & id= E4916BF8C609FA9B%21109 &parId= root & o= OneUp


Respectfully,

Bob

Windows 10 - OneDrive

Right click on the app and one of the properties has an option to not automatically start it. Uncheck, restart the computer, and it should stop. If you want to go another step further, find the OneDrive app in the start menu, right click on it and uninstall.

If that is still insufficient, there is a batch uninstaller for OneDrive available online. I can copy the code here if you need it.

 

Best free PDF software?

I use:

• UnityPDF to merge/split PDFs and to insert/extract pages

• doPDF to create PDFs from any program that is capable of printing

• Foxit Reader to view PDFs and to type in them
