External sharing for OneDrive SHALL be limited to Existing guests or Only People in your organization.

Rationale: Restricting OneDrive sharing reduces the risk of unauthorized data exposure from individual user storage. Allowing broad external sharing of OneDrive content increases the attack surface.

  1. Sign in to the SharePoint admin center.
  2. Select Policies > Sharing.
  3. Adjust external sharing slider for OneDrive to Existing guests or Only people in your organization.
  4. Select Save.
