Hi HowardJ

Please be aware that your shared your O365 account which facilitated the installation and activation of Office Apps on the other computer using your username and password.

The other person can use OneDrive for business, just need to install it and input the email address which has OneDrive for Business enabled, but if this person will login to OneDrive for Business using your O365 account, that person will use/access your OneDrive account and its content, by this mean that you will both use same account, will see all files uploaded to that account, if a person deletes a files it will be deleted for both etc.

The only way that the other person can have a separe OneDrive for Business is a license assigned with OneDrive for business plan enabled.

Hope this helps!
