  1. Does Each User Have Their Own OneDrive?


    I'm the only person who uses my PC. However, since I was still figuring things out, I ended up creating a user account for Windows. However, I usually access it as an admin for which I sign in with my email.I recently noticed that if I go to This PC -> WindowsC: ->Users -> Username it lists things like "Documents", "AppData" etc. It also has OneDrive. If I open OneDrive, it has the contents/pictures of my computer. But I stopped my computer from syncing with OneDrive, so how can this be? Does this non-admin user account which is also me have its own OneDrive? If so, can I access

    :)

  2. 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.

    Current active users that are friends

    The other reason I suggested this is that users can add characters to their username that are not alphanumeric (e.g. user*). This confuses things somewhat when looking at the list.

    Does Each User Have Their Own OneDrive?

    OneDrive is hijacking Win10 users

    I have recently installed Win 10 1803 on a new PC. By default the system use my OneDrive folder to contain documents.

    This is a very intrusive and inconsiderate move as a user's document folder can contain lots of files and easily break one's free OneDrive quota. It totally messed up my OneDrive use behavior and I have to take extra steps to move my user folder away from
    OneDrive.

    I'm not going to use OneDrive for personal file storage and moving to alternative services in future.

    What's funny is: I spent a few minutes to find the "OneDrive" topic in the forum's category list and failed. It seems no one has a clue what's happening to this service...
