Hide Personal OneDrive Results from Search

Consider posting a short internal explanation or intranet article that includes:

- A reassurance that only the user can see their own OneDrive files unless they’ve been explicitly shared.
- A tip to recognize OneDrive files in search (e.g., by looking at the URL path).

There are a few considerations before you decide to restrict OneDrive content from search:

- User Convenience: Some users actually rely on seeing their recent files in search, including OneDrive files.
- Copilot & AI Features: Tools like Microsoft 365 Copilot use recent activity across all file types – including OneDrive – to deliver suggestions. Filtering this content may reduce effectiveness.
- Customizing verticals per audience or globally adds an extra layer of governance and support complexity.
