Bypassing the ‘No-Go’ Using OneDrive’s Copilot for Encrypted & External Document Analysis

In today’s fast-moving enterprise environment, being able to surface insights from documents quickly is a competitive advantage. Tools like Copilot in OneDrive (part of the Microsoft 365 Copilot ecosystem) are designed to make that possible. But what happens when the documents are encrypted, or shared from outside your organisation? Often, that’s treated as a “no-go” zone for AI summarisation.

This blog explores how you can bypass the “no-go” — with the right permissions and controls — to enable Copilot to summarise encrypted files and externally-shared files (provided you have permission). We’ll dig into how it works, how to enable it safely, what the limitations are, and the advanced use-cases where this becomes truly powerful.
