Block OneDrive access in MS mobile Office apps

The organisation that I work for would like to start using the Office Mobile apps on iPhones and iPads (Word, Excel, PowerPoint). However at this time we do not wish to allow users the option to save to OneDrive for Business, OneDrive Personal or DropBox, OneDrive for Business maybe something we allow in future.

So this is the scenario, when you open a Word document in Word and want to edit it you have to first duplicate it and select a location to save it it, either on the device itself or in OneDrive or DropBox. I need to be able to disable this so if a user attempts to sign into one of these accounts they either can't or the option is grayed out.

Is this possible? If not is this on the roadmap as this is essential requirement for my firm as there are many legal implications that we need to overcome before allowing our documents into the cloud.

I did post in the Office 365 Community but was redirected here.

Hi,

I'm not aware of a method to control this option for Office on iPhone/iPad yet. The Apps on iPad provide few access to control as far as I can tell.
