  1. Does BitLocker also restrict access to OneDrive on mobile and web apps?


    I recently encrypted my entire C Drive which is an SSD where Windows is installed using BitLocker so that no one can access it without a password. Now, I am wondering if I should also encrypt other drives using BitLocker like my D, E, F and G drives. These 4 drives are partitions of the same HDD. These drives contain various software, pictures, videos and also my OneDrive folder. So, I am thinking that if I encrypt these drives, it will also encrypt the OneDrive folder. So, will I then be able to access OneDrive files from the web or my phone since they have been encrypted? Encryption means th

  2. 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.

    Security Risk ? Apps with access to OneDrive

    Hi,

    I've just switched to WP, and when installing apps I've in some cases been asked to permit the app to access my OneDrive. It looks as if the permissions give access to everything, which to me looks like a serious security risk.

    An example was an audiobook app, that could read the books from Onedrive, but I could not restrict the access to be for the audiobook folder only.

    Any suggestions on how to solve this ? If this can't be solved, then I'll have to revoke the access for these apps.
