Office 365 Pro Plus - Remove onedrive access to users
hi,
in Office 365 Pro Plus (standalone)- can we Remove onedrive access to all users?
tnx
One way you can do to block OneDrive access to users is by using Group Policy settings. Here's the link for detailed instruction: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3117548/how-to-block-onedrive-use-from-within-office-365-proplus-and-office-20
Yes, In theory, during deployment or by reconfiguring the client with the ExcludeApp element in the configuration:
<ExcludeApp ID="Groove" />
<ExcludeApp ID="OneDrive" />
Not sure how effective it is though. Use the new Office Customization Tool to exclude these options if needed and use alongside these instructions - Overview of the Office 2016 Deployment Tool.
- aside from the OneDrive app in ODT, can we block the access of onedrive in web portal or at least do not issue the onedrive license?
- note - If you don't issue a OneDrive license, but you do issue a SharePoint license, the user will automatically be given access to OneDrive anyway.
A method of preventing the onedrive being created (along with other great information) is explained here - https://www.penthara.com/blog/what-no-one-tells-you-about-disabling-onedrive-for-business/
