Sharepoint Views ignored in OneDrive App
Hi, I'm hoping this is the right place to ask this. I've created a custom view for a Document Library in O365 SharePoint, where documents are only visible to a user if their name is in a particular ...
You are not securing your documents by doing that method so you already have a security issue besides the app issue since everyone can read the documents other ways you’re just hiding through obscurity ;).
OneDrive doesn’t support views so there isn’t a way around this. You’re only option is some kind of flow that sets actual security on files based on the column you are referencing.

Thanks Chris. Fortunately it's just this one library we're doing this way, and nothing in there is too sensitive that if someone accidentally sees it there would be an issue, but it's still a problem. I'll look into the Flow idea, as that's a good one, thanks. In the mean time I hope Microsoft look into this, as OneDrive ignoring views sounds like a problem in general.
