Hello everyone,

I have a scenario where I'm utilizing a Windows Azure virtual machine and would like to facilitate file sharing among my team via OneDrive.

The workflow involves team members downloading files from OneDrive onto the server, importing them into another program, generating results, and then uploading the files back to OneDrive.

I'm interested in implementing a restriction that limits the upload process so that team members can only upload files to the corporate OneDrive. Is this achievable? and what would be the solution?
