    Photos from onedrive are syncing to my computer


    I have private photos on OneDrive for a reason, I don't want them showing up in my PC documents/pictures. I also don't want to delete OneDrive from my computer, I just don't want the photos to appear in my PC files. How do I fix this, if possible?

    :)

    Photos are not syncing to OneDrive

    Hello pleonidas,

    Thank you for your accurate response and for trying the steps.

    This shows us that the auto-upload works normally, but only for photos that you take after switching the auto-upload on.

    Of course, uploading manually 450 photos is completely unpractical so what I would suggest, is to sync your photos to your PC using the Windows Phone app.

    Then of course, if you wish to upload them to Onedrive, you should be able to do that more easily from your PC. At least, your photos will be backed up.

    Kind regards,

    Photos from onedrive are syncing to my computer

    Windows 10 - OneDrive

    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.
