Save your files securely to the cloud.

As a component of 麻豆社's Office 365 subscription, OneDrive is a Microsoft cloud storage solution that allows you to create, save, view, edit, and share files from almost anywhere and on almost any device that has internet access.

Selecting "Specific People" is the most secure option when sharing files or folders. Specific people gives access only to the people you specify, although other people may already have access.
