How can my clients securely upload their docs to my OneDrive account?

I own a small business that sometimes requires my clients to upload sensitive documents to me.  I know that there are some apps out there like www.mydocsonline.com but why open an account with a new vendor if I can get the job done with my existing Office /OneDrive subscription?  Is there a simple and secure way to send a client a link via email and (s)he can then upload personal documents directly to me via One Drive or another MS Office app?  

Thanks in advance.

Yes.

.

OneDrive uses a HTTPS connection from the computer to OneDrive, encrypting the content while it travels between the 2 computers.  So that part is secure.

.

You can create a special folder for each customer, or a generic one they all upload to (go with separate folders).

.

The you grant them "Share/Edit" access to that specific folder only
