Hi,
Thanks for your Answer. But can I protect my files with a different password (not my Account Password)?
Or must I use different methods (encrypt with Boxcryptor)?

Hamza_zdemir The short answer is yes. You can right-click and select classify and protect where you will have the opportunity to choose custom permissions and set access to another user account. This means that the other user will be the one with access to your document. But, I am unsure of what you want to accomplish. If you for instance have private documents you want to store in your OneDrive it would not prevent an administrator (for instance) from decrypting and reading the content since they can use the superuser feature as long as you have protected the content with AIP from your employer. Did that answer your question?
