AIP and Onedrive for business Sharing

Copper Contributor

Hello Experts,

I need to confirm if using Azure information protection documents is compatible with Onedrive for business external sharing.

 

To put it in more context, if I store a document in OneDrive for Business with an AIP label that has a protection setting such as "read only" when that document is shared externally the external user can't read/view the document as AIP doesn't work with Office Online.

 

So my question ...is there any practical scenario of using AIP label with OneDrive for business?

Both SPO and ODFB have not been update to take advantage of the new functionalities AIP offers, so protecting a file with AIP label and uploading in some document library will break functionalities such as search indexing, co-authoring, being able to open the document in Office Online, etc. But if a person is able to download such file and open it with the desktop Office apps, he might be able to open/edit it, depending on the permissions defined in the AIP label.
