It’s Time to Run an Audit of All the Cloud Storage Links You’ve Shared

Cloud storage links make sharing files quick, but links that remain active for a long time can expose files and folders if they are forwarded or an account is compromised. The article recommends regularly reviewing shared links and removing access that is no longer needed, since recipients may be able to edit or delete files depending on the permissions.

It outlines how to review sharing in OneDrive, iCloud Drive and Dropbox: each lets users see shared files and change or end access. OneDrive and Dropbox offer link expiry settings, while iCloud requires users to stop sharing manually. The supplied article text ends as it begins discussing Google Drive, so its guidance for that service is not included.
