Moderately? What do you consider "very" secure? Do you mean "not shared" files or "already deleted" files?
I mean if you were using OneDrive (or ODfB or SharePoint) and wanted to share a very confidential file with a client would you feel confident doing so?
More confident than any other method. So on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being totally insecure and 10 being "as secure as any product you can get today" I'd be pretty close to 10.

Of course, you could make your OWN service for this that requires a long username, a super long password, a dongle, an RSA card, responding to a text message AND a 500 character URL.... but within reason this is basically as secure as things get.

What about things like ownCloud where you get a link sent to you, and a password sent to you (preferably by different means)...?

It's the combined length that makes it secure.

Do you know if the SharePoint nomenclature is the same for everyone that uses the hosted version?
I mean, I guess everyone has your e-mail address and domain anyway. Just seemed ... personal to be out there like that.

It would all be the same, yes.

You're email address like you home address isn't private - really can't be. So it's not something that's part of security.

Well, I guess POTUS wouldn't want to use that!
I don't follow.

I don't follow.
I guess it just felt ... dirty ... to give out that much info.

I still have no idea what you are referencing.

ownCloud has link sharing also.

I consider things like this secure because the document is only accessible when you choose to make it acessible.
Unlike the fake security that is Facebook. If you upload media to Facebook, it is accessible to anyone that figures out the link. Your Facebook security settings do not apply.
Like this image, posted "friends only" last week.

That kind of touches on my next question.
Are any of these links ever available to search engines?
I was playing around with YouTube video streaming last week, in a testing scenario, and within a few minutes all my test video were at the top of a Google search for my company.
Needless to say I freaked a bit.

Youtube is Google's product, why would you expect anything less?
As for the links, if there aren't actually listed anywhere on the site, and the DB of the websites aren't spider-able, you should be good.

It was instantaneous. Creepy.

again.. Google property. but even when not, Google is pretty damned fast at finding things.. I'm sure they have 10's of Gb of bandwidth doing only that.

Our company is barely on there.
I literally tested a video of myself on ML and it was up in 3 milliseconds.

If you leave them open AND publish them somewhere for the search engines to find, of course they are. Same as if you put your username and password here on ML, the search engines would find that too.

Most people would be delighted as that would be the intend of publishing stuff about your company. You submitted company content directly to the search engine and the engine showed your results. that's not creepy, it's both desired (by the 99.999%) and totally expected.
