    Why does my wife's OneDrive show my OneDrive folders?


    We both have Microsoft personal accounts and "work or school" accounts. OneDrive is under my personal account, where we have our Office subscription for the Office suite of programs. That is supposed to include, if I understand correctly rarely a valid assumption with Microsoft, I know, a 1TB OneDrive for each of five users. Well we have only two users.


    My wife's computer logs on with her email address and Microsoft account. Her OneDrive, though, shows all the folders from my OneDrive, although the contents are not visible. Is there a way for her to start from scratch with a new OneDrive containing only folders on her computer? I plead for your help here, as we are on the verge of cancelling everything from Microsoft except Windows...and we're even thinking about that, too. Apple is looking more attractive every day!

    :)

  2. 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.

    Anyone know how to remove "OneDrive - For Business" from the Explorer navigation panel? I've tried just about every registry modification, and windows policy for "Onedrive" but they only seem to work for the consumer product, not for onedrive for business.

    The onedrive product alone is so damn annoying and continues to load itself upon startup, even when it's explicitly remove from startup. It continues to automatically load and unload itself from within the startup folder... while I'm actively watching it load itself into the startup folder.

    [/quote] Click to expand... Sorry, but I think you're confused and keep referring to Onedrive. There is a big difference between the consumer version of Onedrive business O365 version. I do not have the consumer version of Onedrive installed... it is Onedrive for Business. Also, this script is for "Onedrive" .... not Onedrive for Business. Thanks anyway.

    OneDrive (for Business) built-in Windows 10 differences?

    No thanks for providing a non-rant version. I ought to recruit about 20 million people and walk down to Microsoft headquarters and do them in. Tired of Microsoft forcing their childish development skills on the masses.
