Yes, OneDrive for Business is used to store your personal documents using your organization ID. Do you think no one can see your personal data from your OneDrive for Business account? Obviously, NO! Every SharePoint administrator can have access to your OneDrive account for troubleshooting and content recovery.

OK, so where I can store my confidential data in OneDrive? Is there any way to do that?

Yes, OneDrive has been developed using the SharePoint Schema, so obviously we can create another document library, list, and subsites.

But when you click the Gear button on the right top of the screen, you can’t see the site content option to create another document library or List.

SharePoint

Basically, you can access the site content using the below URL. From there, you can create the Document Library, List, or Subsite.

https://tenant-my.sharepoint.com/personal/thivagar_segar_Domain_com/_layouts/15/viewlsts.aspx?view=14

If you cannot access the Site Content using the above URL, we can create using the PowerShell. Before we begin with PowerShell, we require some prerequisite files that need to be downloaded on your system

    5. #Get the Password
    6. $LoginPassword = Read - Host - AsSecureString "password"
    7. #Mention the Library Name
    8. $Libraryname = "Hidden1"
    9. #Login the Admin Center
    10. $cred = New - Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential($LoginName, $LoginPassword)
    11. Connect - SPOService - Url $TenantURL - Credential $cred
    12. # Connect the OneDrive Account using Client Context
    13. $Context = New - Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext("https://osspdy-my.sharepoint.com/personal/thivagar_segar_oss-pdy_com")
    14. # Copy the credential
    15. $Credential = New - Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.SharePointOnlineCredentials($LoginName, $LoginPassword)
    16. $Context.Credentials = $Credential
    17. # Create Library using new - object
    18. $ListInfo = New - Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ListCreationInformation
    19. # Apply the library nae
    20. $ListInfo.Title = $Libraryname
    21. # mentione the Library Template numner
    22. $ListInfo.TemplateType = 101
    23. $List = $Context.Web.Lists.Add($ListInfo)
    24. # add the Description
    25. $List.Description = "Hidden Library"
    26. #Update the list info
    27. $List.Update()
    28. "
    29. $list = $Context.Web.Lists.GetByTitle($Libraryname)
    30. $Context.Load($list)
    31. # Execute the query to finalize the creation
    32. $context.executeQuery()

Once it is created, you can see it in your site content
