    OneDrive gets in the way when I attempt to move my files to D:


    After a major breakdown I am rebuilding my PC. Because I have a *lot* of data, most of it is in the D: drive. I've been able to move most of the desktop folders to D:, in my renewed machine but, I am stuck with documents and pictures, which are both blocked by OneDrive, which I don't even use.I've followed a couple of posts that proposed ways to get around this problem, but the most promising post just created a new user account, which is not really a solution at all. I should not be disadvantaged by the fact that my Data is much larger than the typical SSDs in most machines.

    :)

    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.

    Sync D Drive with OneDrive

    I am using OneDrive to sync my files on my C drive and all is working fine. But I can not find a way to have my D drive connect to OneDrive. I would like my D drive to sync with OneDrive. Does anyone know how to get a D Drive to sync with OneDrive?
