  1. The OneDrive app on Windows 10 crashes when trying to change the local storage folder


    I have a fresh copy of Windows 10 Pro installed on my desktop PC and I need to connect OneDrive for both business and personal use. I started with business and setup OneDrive with no issues, including changing the local folder location to a different drive.


    I then attempted to setup personal OneDrive, but every time I click "Change" in order to change the local folder, OneDrive crashes.

    I have tried the suggestions in this thread with no luck:

    Obviously I can't use C: - it's not big enough for my OneDrive storage. It's also obvious that lots of others have been encountering this same issue for weeks.


    I paid for an Office 365 subscription in order to get the full features of OneDrive. Can I please get some help with this issue?



    Moved from: OneDrive with Office / Windows 10 / Office 365 Home

    Right click on the app and one of the properties has an option to not automatically start it. Uncheck, restart the computer, and it should stop. If you want to go another step further, find the OneDrive app in the start menu, right click on it and uninstall.

    If that is still insufficient, there is a batch uninstaller for OneDrive available online. I can copy the code here if you need it.

    Anyone know how to remove "OneDrive - For Business" from the Explorer navigation panel? I've tried just about every registry modification, and windows policy for "Onedrive" but they only seem to work for the consumer product, not for onedrive for business.

    The onedrive product alone is so damn annoying and continues to load itself upon startup, even when it's explicitly remove from startup. It continues to automatically load and unload itself from within the startup folder... while I'm actively watching it load itself into the startup folder.

    Windows 10 - OneDrive

    This is Windows 10 Pro... Enterprise is an entirely different deal and I'm sure I won't have problems that route, but I'm not forking over more $ to dipshit developers. The only thing I can think of is un-linking my Office 365 accounts within Office, but that defeats the purpose of accessing the files ONLINE and managing them from there. I have two alumni accounts, not a single problem in Windows 7/8 until M$shit devs decided to integrate Onedrive. I've deleted, renamed, set read-only to "msosync.exe," ... but windows continues to add it again and again, and NOW I just noticed it's now linking to groove.exe, instead of onedrive. Sooo fn annoying!



    Onedrive on Windows 10 is not an 'app' it is integrated. Plus I don't fool around with the Windows Store thoughtless developer child bullshit. Windows Store ought to be completely removed from the Windows platform all together. Also I do not intend to completely remove Onedrive, it defeats the purpose... the purpose is to REMOVE it from Windows Explorer navigation and startup.
