How to limit file sharing Onedrive within organisation

Question

We have recently migrated a whole school over to 365 from google. Inadvertently, some of the shared docs carried across were shared with all students and staff. Is there an admin setting or PowerShell script to limit breadth of sharing via OneDrive within an organisation? I.e. can I limit the number of users one document is shared with. Ideally OneDrive should only be shared with an handful of colleagues. If the staff member wants to share with a bigger group they should use teams or sharepoint ,

Answer

Hi @Charles Wilkinson

There is currently no limit setting on the number of people shared with. You can choose Only people in your organization for OneDrive sharing, it will turn off external sharing.

For more settings for OneDrive sharing, please see "Manage sharing settings for SharePoint and OneDrive in Microsoft 365".
