Onedrive for business questions from a newbie
As people have suggested here, I am playing around with ODFB, but have some questions:
When I share (right click on a folder under ODFB in Windows Explorer and choose share, it defaults to anyone with the link can edit. Typically, I want to create a link for people to get to the files, but not change / edit. Is there a way to change that default?
If I went through those steps to share repeatedly, I'd get different URLs to share the files or folders, right? (unlike a file share in windows of something like \\server\shared that stays the same... you could create several shares pointing to the same place).
Is there a way to see what shared URLs have been created, what they actually share and who they give access to? And maybe even last time they were accessed? If you wanted to revoke a 'anyone with the link can access the file' link, how would you do that? Delete the share link? rename the file?
I have 2 onedrive folders in windows explorer - OneDrive and OneDrive - Username the first one has no files. Is that the company 1TB of data? Is there a way to confirm that's the company space? And / or how would I get to that in the office website?
THANKS!

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
I think for the Company space you have to create a folder within Sharepoint and then sync that folder with your user's OneDrive accordingly - not 100% sure on this but it was the only method I could find when we setup our central "company location".

I kinda don't want to have to be going to the website if I can avoid that (dropbox, I haven't been there at all). but somethings have to be done on the o365 website for ODFB?
