Windows 10: How can I access OneDrive as a drive letter without syncing?

I like OneDrive and use it on an almost daily basis, but I don't like the syncing. I wish I could access it as a drive. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Here you go everyone, in case you haven't found this yet. Doing this you can keep everything in the cloud and access everything without having to download it to your hard drive.

Microsoft: suck it!

 

Partitions that I cannot access

Thank you, but my issue is how to access the data on the partitions that have not been assigned a drive letter. I cannot backup this data before reformatting/converting the drive without first finding a way to access the data.

Hello OCMS213, and welcome to Ten Forums. *Smile

You might see if mapping OneDrive may work for you.

Another alternative, would be to use OneDrive online instead.

 

I used to access OneDrive as a drive letter but now prefer to use the built-in W10 functionality. I disable OneDrive from starting automatically when I login to Windows and select the folders to synchronise so I am not storing large synchronised folders on the PC - you will need to use OneDrive online to access those.

 

An excellent alternative (I mean really excellent!) is the new OneDrive App, you can download it from Windows Store:





Maybe the biggest plus is that OneDrive App allows you to add as many OneDrive Personal and OneDrive for Business (work / school accounts) as you'd like to. Easy to set up, takes a bit time to learn to use effectively.

Can only recommend. One app to control all your OneDrives, all content. I use it daily to manage half a dozen OneDrives without an issue.

Please notice: OneDrive App is not a sync client; instead it is a user interface for your OneDrive online content.

 

Great post @Kari*Thumbs
But you for got to link it(OneDrive app): Your request appears to be from an automated process
This is the link to online Windows Store, but will simultaneously open the Store app to the app too.

 

Thanks to everyone for the good advice. I actually came across a commercial product called Webdrive that does exactly what I need. Has anyone ever tried it?
