How can we improve OneDrive's security, policy and administration experiences??

← OneDrive Security, Policy & Administration

Remote wipe of personal OneDrive

Add options to manage computers connected to the account, allowing to delete all content from a lost computer (force remove/delete is required).

    Please work in this, I was a dropbox user for almost 5 years and really took this functionality for granted. Didn't event thought that would be missing of OneDrive.

    This is very basic for a security point of view, is important to know where your files are going to show up considering that you could be logged in on several computers and maybe even web and a place to have all this info right on hand is priceless.

    I am Winona Wilson. I have found that person by the name of Margaret Katlyn Wolfe has entered my computer HP Notebook Model: 15-ay041wm, SN: CND6460HYS, Product: XOH86UA#ABA and has somehow put her computer as my computer which says in description: This pc which she has her computer: LAPTOP 5LOGBJ81 AND she is sending all my files to her Drive.
    Also, she is using my email I have just created on 9/13/19. This woman has stripped all my files from my Android moto e5 cellphone and again now my computer. This has to stop. I am reporting to the authorities. This woman has stolen my identity, credit cards, Social Security card, Medicare card, many personal possessions that belong to me only. Please send this information to the whole context of the DRIVE as I have never used it myself. I will be forever grateful if you will help me stop this person. Somehow she is able to get on my computer and my cellphone and control both. Besides her chemically treating my liquid drinks in the fridge and my food making me sick. I lost my dog because of her and my companion. She told me I should had thrown away his chocolate. She put something dangerous in it and caused him to have a stroke and now he gone 4/26/19. I am heartbroken so much. I am a good person and this woman is associated to my husband whom I have not lived with sine 2011. He last tried to kill me with Rat poison. Please I beg you if you know anymore about this person she is very dangerous and she acts so innocent. Thank you so much for allowing me to try to stop this person. I live in Port Richey, FL 34668.

    Microsoft should enable this to protect the customer. I cant believe how this doesn't exist yet.

    Agreed, I'm actually in need of this feature--assumed it was available... I don't have any sensitive information (or at least I hope not), but would like to remotely wipe/remove one drive from machine, or at very least, disassociate..

    Mobile devices, laptops and employees leaving a company using Microsoft services would all be valid and critical use cases of this.

    Yes this is absolutely essential. For example, when a PC or laptop is lost, we should be able to delete all the OneDrive files remotely.. Not having this feature is a real shortsight of the architecture.
