One note on work computer

Question

I use one note application with personal account on a my work windows 10 laptop. This laptop is joined on my work domain. But i access it through my private wifi.

What can my work admin see in these notebook connected to my personal account and stored on my personal onedrive. The access as stated is through onenote 2016 installed on my work computer

Answer 1

It's not that easy without knowing the details.

There are two places where an admin has potentially access:

The OneNote cache

It exists only when a notebook is currently open in OneNote and needs detailed knowledge of the way how OneNote works.

The OneNote automatic local backup

This is the real danger because you can copy whole notebooks for foreign use from that location.

But you can prevent this by shutting off the backup feature in OneNote Options.

Answer 5

Hello Irfan

My name is Fred.

If your data is stored on the computer the administrator can access them.

I recommend you to use Onedrive and Onenote online and never store the password in the browser.

Let us know if you have more questions.

Best Regards,

Fred
