Open in Review Mode for Word on the web
When we share file from a business OneDrive account to the our partners outside of company, the recipient can see the names of our folders, the entire path is uncoded in the navigation panel.
Our clients or external users can see all our folders names, these names can be sensitive, for example contains prices, names of our suppliers or some other sensitive info what we don't want to share. How to hide names of folders i don't have idea. Please help.
See the sample:
it is file opened by our client outside of organization, after link received by them:
And here is problem with privacy:
1 Click in the left corner on name of file, you will se Location. Click on it,
2 After that you see a folders with the entire path to our file:
Work / Export / Producers / Asia technology LTD / Buyers / Poultry farm limited / August 125 MT loading/ here is our shared file Export documents.docx
For example, if I will send a link of our file to our client Poultry farm limited, they would see where we taking material, which manufacturer is it, this is Asia technology LTD. In fact, if you share files outside of our organization, then OneDrive Business can only harm you. Everyone can see all your folders.
Try to do it by yourself on your computer, come up with an example with folders and give access to the Word file. You will see the same result.
But that is not all. When you share a pdf file in same way, the entire path to your file is indicated in the browser path line > example with the same folders like above:
