Security Considerations
While windows.net is an established platform, these capabilities require extra vigilance.
File Hosting
windows.net allows users to upload and share files. Any file you download was uploaded by another user—not the platform operator. Scan downloads with antivirus software and only download from sources you trust.
Custom Subdomains
windows.net allows users to create custom addresses like "anything.windows.net". An address like "paypal-secure.windows.net" may look official but is actually controlled by whoever registered that subdomain—not Microsoft Corporation.
Remember: The platform itself is established, but even established platforms can be abused.
