File sharing with OneDrive

Last December I signed up for Office 365 subscription plan, 99.99 per year, which comes with OneDrive 6TB, 6 users.

It is possible to share a folder with others. This is an experimental implementation of sharing a folder: SHARED_MoI_Files.

The link is: https://1drv.ms/f/s!Ar0qu3Ui6Qja51QxKKeQMmgGEtW5
which anyone can use to view or download the contents of this folder, and subdirectories, WITHOUT access to other folders.

The (actually comprehensible) instructions for setting this up are here:
https://support.office.com/en-us/article/share-onedrive-files-and-folders-9fcc2f7d-de0c-4cec-93b0-a82024800c07#bkmk_getalink

So far there are only two subdirectories, and 3 files. A 5 lobe Hopf Torus .3dm, from a Spherical Elastica lobe is new.

Would someone please try out the link, and download, and verify that there is no access to other directories or files?
And tell me if giving this link is a mistake?

Someday I may try to do a website...

Hello Brian,

i just tried it under Linux with Firefox and i was able to download the files (.zip archive).

Since the link uses an authentication key i doubt that someone would get access to
other directories, with out having the proper values. You link looks like this:

https://onedrive.live.com/?authkey=!ADEop5AyaA_etc.

And if i have a Microsoft account i can add your files to my drive.

Regards
Stefan

BTW. if you are concerned that third parties may access private / sensitive
files i would simply use popular encryption software like GnuPG (called on
Windows gpg4win).

Regards
Stefan

Thank you Stefan for the information and check of the link.

Your OneDrive link requested my password, and then showed all of my OneDrive folders...
