Still, stay alert
No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.
- Double-check the exact URL in your address bar
Confirm you are actually on 1drv.ms and not a lookalike like 1-drv.ms.com or an IDN homoglyph.
- Use a password manager
Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.

Safety FAQ
Common questions about this site, answered from the scan data on this page. These are auto-generated — not hand-written — so they always match the underlying report.
- Our automated security review found no threat indicators on 1drv.ms. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.
- 1drv.ms passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 90/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.
- Yes. 1drv.ms presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Microsoft Corporation · Microsoft TLS G2 RSA CA OCSP 10, expiring in 260 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
- 1drv.ms is 12.8 years old, registered on 8/28/2013 through MarkMonitor. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.
- No. 1drv.ms is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
- 1drv.ms resolves to an IP operated by Microsoft Corporation in US (usage type: Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.
