If you have a OneDrive storage account, you can check your storage using the official iPhone and Android apps. OneDrive allows you to store all the necessary personal and work-related data. Your data on OneDrive may not be safe if you tend to give your phone to kids, share it with family members, or someone who knows your phone password.
To add another layer of security, you can use a password to lock the OneDrive app on your phone. This post will share the steps to add a passcode to the OneDrive app on your iPhone and Android.
