Report abuse in OneDrive
Applies To
OneDrive (home or personal) OneDrive for Mac OneDrive for Windows

If you've received a link to an offensive or illegal file or folder stored in OneDrive, you can report it for us to review.

If you're part of an organization that has its own procedures for reporting abuse, please follow your organization's procedures or start by contacting your Microsoft 365 administrator.

  1. On the OneDrive website, sign in with your Microsoft account, and then check your Shared view.

    If you don't want to sign in or you want to report the file anonymously, use the anonymous Report Abuse form.

  2. Right-click the offensive or illegal file and select Report a concern.
