Tips: 

* When you’re done collaborating, or at any time, you can stop sharing and remove access to your files. For OneDrive and SharePoint select the file then select Details > Manage access to stop sharing. For Lists, open the list and select the information icon in the top right corner, then select Manage Access

* For added security for OneDrive and SharePoint files, you can remove editing permission and turn on Block download in Link settings.
