How does Dropover “Copy OneDrive Link” work?
When you click Copy OneDrive Link, Dropover creates a destination directory within Apps/Dropover. By default, this directory is named “Uploaded at {date}” unless you configure it otherwise.
Dropover then uploads the content from the shelf to that destination directory. Once the upload is complete, the directory is made accessible to anyone—unless you have used the invite option, in which case only the specified recipients can access it.
The shareable link for the destination directory is automatically copied to your clipboard. Anyone with this link (unless access is restricted via invitation) can view the uploaded content.
When you delete the destination directory, the uploaded content will no longer be accessible.
How does Dropover use my data from Microsoft OneDrive?
When you link your Microsoft OneDrive account, Dropover securely stores an authentication token in your keychain. This token is used solely for communication with Microsoft OneDrive.
Note: Dropover can only access files and directories within the Apps/Dropover folder. It does not have permission to access any other files or folders on your OneDrive.
How can i revoke Dropover’s access?

Where does Dropover store uploaded content?
By default, uploaded files are stored in a subdirectory within Apps/Dropover (for example, Apps/Dropover/Upload at Oct 10/). You can also choose a custom path by selecting the Custom option for File Destination in the upload prompt.
Who can access my uploaded content?
Anyone with the shareable link can view (but not modify) the files in the destination directory. Once you delete the directory, the content becomes inaccessible.
