I have a personal computer and a work issue laptop. We use O365 at work and I do at home. I have separate accounts or logins for each. For some reason when I work on my personal computer and files that I have (noticed this with excel) - I see those files as recent files on my work computer and can access them by clicking on it. I don't want my work computer to have any access to my personal files. How can I completely separate the 2. Thanks you!

re: personal files visible at work

I don't have your setup but it sounds as if you are saving your personal files to OneDrive.
My guess, as to a solution, is to create a separate folder and save your personal files there and...

Turn off, disable, or uninstall OneDrive - Office Support (microsoft.com)
