    Is there any way to use the onedrive app WITHOUT syncing core folders?


    I want to use the one drive app to access one drive WITHOUT syncing things. That is, I want one drive to show up in file explorer. Is there a way to do this where I don't have to sync my massive gaming PC to my tiny laptop?

    :)

    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.
