Device neutral storage of applications data using OneDrive to manage a users own applications data
When designing an application we need to be mindful about privacy and security concerns when accessing data within the application, in particular taking into consideration anything that is sensitive, personalised, or should not be written to an insecure local disk. In the medical context, for example, every day clinicians may have to use several machines, often connecting to a local area network to retrieve their profile, settings, and data. This must be done in a safe and reliable way. Enter Microsoft Graphs API. By using this API we can offload much of the management of login security to Microsoft. The API provides a wide range of new functionality that can be integrated into an application such as storing data of personal relevance generated by an app to a user’s own OneDrive account. Thus any device with the same application can be logged in via Single Sign-On (SSO) and retrieve where that user left off.
