The prompt to save to OneDrive (formerly SkyDrive) must be disabled. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

OneDrive (formerly SkyDrive) is a cloud based storage feature that introduces the capability for users to save documents to locations outside of protected enclaves. This feature introduces the risk that FOUO and PII data, as well as other DoD protected data, may be inadvertently stored in a nonsecure location. This setting, which will prompt the user to sign in to OneDrive while performing a file save operation, must be disabled.
