Nevertheless, you can always add your own brand of encryption by placing passwords on the files themselves. This is especially easy to do in most Office files and such. That being said, thanks for further elaborating on your thoughts about SkyDrive.

For example, my passwords are in a TrueCrypt container which is only mounted as needed and synced in with my SkyDrive app. This makes for a really hard time to read the contents.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11855919127254141118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30199100.post-10818447145826701822013-04-19T06:51:05.955-04:002013-04-19T06:51:05.955-04:00Thanks, Corrine.

Then provide edit permission individually to the students for their assigned folder, also requiring them to log on in order to access the folder.<br /><br />For instructions on how to share files and folders, see <a href="http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/skydrive/change-access-permissions-faq" rel="nofollow">Share files and folders and change permissions - SkyDrive</a>Corrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02110007723754751966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30199100.post-1578868530397148652013-04-17T05:45:48.039-04:002013-04-17T05:45:48.039-04:00Hi - We're thinking of adopting SkyDrive for u...Hi - We're thinking of adopting SkyDrive for use with students are who undertaking a trial of Android tablets & iPads in lessons. We have a windows network, so SkyDrive is a good option for file creation, storage & sharing between that and non-native devices.<br /><br />We think we have a duty of care to ensure 'safeguarding' within these SkyDrive accounts (most students are under 16). Have you any ideas how we might be able to setup accounts that can be moderated by an administrator?<br /><br />Thanks<br />Richard C.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
