    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?

    :)

    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.

    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.

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

    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?
