The SkyDrive Pro in our SharePoint 2013 environment is public no matter what. I can restrict everyone from the Document Library in my SkyDrive and remove the “shared with everyone folder” and anyone in the company can get in and view, edit, and share my documents anyway. This works for everyone including my most basic end users.
I did a “Check Permissions” test on my document library for a user who should not be able to get in and see anything but she can anyway, and was able to open, make a change, and save back to the library, as well as share it with others. See the screen shot below. It tells me that she has permissions of “none” but then all of those other items are affecting her permissions to my personal SkyDrive Pro. Where do I to change this?
you were right it was at the Web Application level. There was an odd permission group that to me looked okay, but upon further research was actually not a true default group. Our developer had created it for some reason, so we removed it. Security is back to normal!
Maybe it are the permissions at webapplication level?

And please also check if the correct users/groups are in the site collection administrator setting.
(Central Admin -> Web Applications -> Change site collection administrators)
Is this problem only appearing at the mysite host? What are the results if you check the permissions of a standard (non admin) user at the root level of the mysite host? Are they similar ?
The permissions at the individual site level look fine. Everyone has Read access to the site, but then the Document Library is not inheriting permissions and is just me. I am unique because 99% of the users don’t even have access to go in and look at this.
Where would I go to look at the MySite Site collection as a whole?
By default it seems like the SkyDrive Pros should be private unless you share a document. This is not the case, even though it says in the permissions that it is. I should have to go change something for every user.
I’m guessing this is something that got set up globally that is incorrect, but I have no clue where to go to try and fix it.
Have you checked the permissions on:
– Sitecollection level (Mysite sitecollection)
– Site level (site settings -> site permissions)
