Windows 10: I am DONE with forced OneDrive uploads, think I'm going to Linux platform next. I actually...

This OneDrive forced upload is criminal. Also a waste of my time. I may actually ditch this OS for Linux. Maddening and shameless

:)

 

Thinking about Going back to Win8.1


If want to disable IE, still can. However, can't uninstall it like were able to in XP/98/whatever.
Here's how, although I find it useful in case Chrome or Firefox stops working and have to re-download it. *Wink
1. Search for turn windows features on or off and click it in the search results.

• 
  

2. When the app opens, uncheck Internet Explorer 11.

• 
  
  

3. Click Yes on the warning dialog.

• 
  

4. Click OK.

• 
  

5. Restart for the changes to finish.

 

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.

 

onedrive / google drive on Linux

Hi folks

1) Install rclone on Linux via your package manager - on arch / manjaro it's in the AUR (yay rclone)

2) follow these instructions after installing rclone (start at step 2 in the instructions !! skip step 1 -- install via your own package manager)

How To Mount OneDrive In Linux Using Rclone (Supports Business And Personal Accounts) - Linux Uprising Blog

After Web browser opens -- sign in and save as book mark

Then next time at boot or whenever to mount the one drive disk simply run this command as a normal user

rclone --vfs-cache-mode writes mount "onedrive": ~/OneDrive





Your OneDrive cloud disk will be mounted on onedrive in your Linux system - access just like Windows





And from the browser





Job done !!!
