As a users, can admin access my one drive file?
I have just got an Office365 account as a user, I want to ask if I upload some files with private access in my OneDrive or cloud storage. Did as an administrator still can access all of my files

jcgonzalezmartin OMG,
Are there any options for us to make our files more protected, even as administrator

Actually no, because a global admin will ever be able to "hijack" your account by resetting the credentials.
This is because the files hosted in your company's one drive, are company files. For your private files, use a private one drive. You can use a private and a company one drive together without problems.
If your company has Office E3 or higher, your admin will be able to publish sensitivity-labels, where the creator of the file can encrypt it, so that it can only encrypted by the creator or other users with access (there are multiple configuration options).
