I tried to access John’s OneDrive, being a Company Administrator (Office 365 Global Admin) and this is a message I got when I did that: Even Global Office 365 administrators do not have access to other users’ OneDrive without steps outlined below. Files and folders can only be seen by other employees if they have been shared by the OneDrive owners themselves. With this post, I would like to share a few techniques for you to do this.īefore we proceed further, it is important to note that user’s OneDrive account is private by default. The bottom line is – you need to access someone else’s OneDrive. Or, maybe someone just left on vacation and forgot to publish a very important Sales Proposal to SharePoint. Your employee left or is about to leave the organization, but has left lots of valuable intellectual property in his or her OneDrive repository.
