OneDrive Sharing is NOT Safe
Why, when creating a link to share a file, does it default to enabling write permissions, instead of only giving view permissions? This is a massive security issue if I do not remember to change this...

For OneDrive for Business, the admin can change this in the SharePoint admin center under Settings > File and folder links by setting the default link permission to View. That makes new links read-only unless the sender deliberately changes them to edit. OneDrive Personal does not currently expose the same tenant-wide default.
