    CAN A PASSWORD PROTECTED FILE BE USED IN MY ONEDRIVE?


    I have an Excel file on my hard drive that contains private info. It has been password protected through the Excel option. If I were to upload it to my One Drive folder, would that be an issue? Note that I am not referring to the password protect option for sharing within One Drive. I don't intend to share with any other user.

    :)

    OneDrive - Password protected PDF - comments and protection

    Hi

    I regularly use Onedrive to read PDFs via the OneDrive Viewer, on both Android and IOS11 App's without issue. I often use the in-built highlighter and comments tools to annotate PDF's again without any issues.

    However I have a PDF issued by a 3rd Party which is password protected to prevent all actions (copying text, photos, comments, highlight etc) with the exception of opening the file. i.e. I can open the PDF without a password and read it. I have opened
    the file in Acrobat Reader DC, it confirms I cannot do anything except open and read the document.

    When I use OneDrive viewer, it allows me to open this file, but also allow highlighting and comments etc, somehow side stepping the PDF protection. However when it comes to sync the file OneDrive then extends the password protection to also include opening
    the file. As a 3rd party set this password I can not longer access the file or see any of my comments....

    Is this a known bug, something is not right here?

    Password Protected Word Files

    My Nokia Lumia 510 with Windows 7 will not allow me to open my OneDrive Password Protected Word files. It always gives me the message “Password-protected files can’t be opened”.



    I really prefer to have all my files password protected so in order to resolve this I am considering purchasing a Lumia 630 which has Windows 8.1. Obviously I don’t want to waste money buying this model if I still can’t open my OneDrive Word files. Is anyone
    able to tell me whether this will resolve the problem or alternatively suggest which model I should purchase? Many thanks. Suzie
