    Google drive acts just like a regular hard drive and gives a letter and everything mine is G:\. The question I have is can OneDrive do the same or does it only work as a folder?I'm also having issues with the sync feature. I installed windows 10 onto a new hard drive but it didn't restore my desktop picture or my theme and other settings. Yes, I have it turned on. I've been working at this for a couple of days now. My hard drive went down somehow it is seen as a 0.0gb drive in bios windows even sees the drive and asks me to initialize it but it doesn't work. So I have no choice but to reinstal

    :)

    OneDrive personal vs OneDrive for business vs GoogleDrive


    Just curious to know: from a technical point of view:
    what are the differences between OneDrive personal, the default OneDrive or the one coming with 365, versus OneDrive for Business?

    Background: there may be applications, like SnagIt, that do support OneDrive for Business, or GoogleDrive, or DropBox, but not OneDrive 'personal'.

    Thanks.

    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.

    Can OneDrive act like a regular drive as GoogleDrive can. I also have a 2nd question about...

    I'm Drive confused! I have oneDrive, GoogleDrive and icloud! Cant I just use GoogleDrive and delete the other two?

    Can I delete oneDrive and icloud? I have googledrive installed on my iphone and PC and want to just use google products as much as possible.

    Or should I have two backups just to be safe? Isn't a backup on the PC itself and one cloud backup enough?

    If I should keep two clouds which one would I get rid of? I assume icloud?

    I think I have multiple files too because of too many drives.

    I apologize in advance. Pretend you are talking to a 10 year old.
