OneDrive is a cloud storage service enabling users to share files with one another. Nevertheless, there may be instances where you need to revoke access to a shared file for several reasons. In this article, we’ll walk you through the steps to stop sharing a file on OneDrive.
Step 1: Open OneDrive
To begin with, open your web browser and go to onedrive.live.com. Sign in to your Microsoft account if you haven’t already.

Step 3: Unshare the File
Once you have located the file, click on it to open it. In the top right corner of the screen, you will see a “Share” button. Click on it and then select “Stop sharing.” This will unshare the file with all the users who had access to it.
Step 4: Confirm Unsharing
After clicking on “Stop sharing,” a pop-up window will appear asking you to confirm that you want to stop sharing the file. Click on “Yes” to confirm and unshare the file.
