The idea of Onedrive cloud syncing backups is nice in all but problem is there should be a choice when you set up for the first time or a new user. Most importantly I wouldn't hate it so much if it didn't MESS up all the directories.
I've just found the same directories problem, what a fucking stupid idea from Microsoft. I just installed some music software and I couldn't see any presets, and would you believe it, OneDrive saved the files, and all my other files since I build my PC 🤬 feel like I should start over now
Why doesn't it just work like it did in Windows 10?!? All I want is to have a documents folder that is local/hardware save only and then a documents folder where everything saved in it is backed up to the cloud. WHY is that so hard?!
@@Riffa22 it is not a stupid idea, later they are going to charge you for the cloud. and if you say NO, they will kidnap all your documentation. Simple.
@@Willie_Wahzoo because they are kidnapping your files, when you have no more space in " their cloud" you will have to pay $ EVER !! and you will become their SLAVE. simple. The American way to DO " Business" I know I studied Business and Administration.
A longstanding problem with OneDrive is that turning it off automatically deletes all the local copies of files. This wouldn't be so bad if not for the fact that your desktop shortcuts get synced to OneDrive for some reason. Even if you restore the shortcuts, you've still lost all the work you've put into organizing them. Some people have hundreds of shortcuts all meticulously placed in the right spots on their desktop
Asshole Microsoft design 101. Seriously, what kind of idiot thinks I want to store my icons to OneDrive and then when you turn it off it proceeds to remove them.
I just wanted onedrive to stop being the default save file option. It used to not be the default but changed after a windows update, and so because of muscle memory and habit I kept saving everything to the wrong spots in onedrive which was then a pain in the ass to retrieve. Was pissing me off something fierce! You would not believe how long it took me to find this video with every other search result giving me instructions on something completely unrelated or in one case a microsoft help/faq forum with a random user telling people to edit their friggin registries to get rid of it and a microsoft employee themselves saying it wasn't possible! Thanks so much for the video
" shove OneDrive down your throat every now and then " Tru Dat. I am so over MS and OneDrive. Thank you sooo much !!!! I would rather go to the dentist than deal with OneDrive.
I had a nightmare for days with this,I wanted to save some pictures and videos on my laptop and they could not be saved because I didn't had enough space on onedrive and it just keep showing me error .I never wanted to save them on onedrive any way !!!! Thank you for this video:)
If you want an indication into just how insidious Onedrive is, it does not allow you to enter its settings unless it's currently -syncing- stealing your files.
I've decided to start working out of an external hardrive. This is ridiculous. I didn't even know OneDrive was doing this until I deleted something and got a prompt asking if I wanted it deleted from Onedrive as well? Very suspect. Why not give people a choice? Microsoft is literally removing choice. But I'm supposed to believe there's no insidious motivation behind this. Don't think so Microsoft. Eff that.
Sadly you can only do that when you have disabled it from going to sync any of your files from Settings>Account option. I did it and then unlinked my account. Boom onedrive is gone. Also make sure that you disable any onedrive popups from windows registry editor and uninstall this app by going to installed apps from windows settings. You are done with this. Note that you need to cut the synced files in onedrive to different location than where onedrive does its syncing. Delete all files from onedrive then do the account and unlink thing. Your job is completely done.
I didn’t even sign up to one drive. I’m so frustrated that my Sims4 game only saves everything to the OneDrive documents folder even when I delete it. I don’t have onedrive even running. I don’t understand where it is. I got a brand new computer and windows 11 and said no to it. But it’s always using onedrive when I don’t have it active
Primary issue with onedrive for me was the lack of storage space. I love modding games as it makes it way more interesting to play them, the problematic thing is that since everything I downloaded automatically went to onedrive's cloud it filled up the storage space massively. 5gb just isn't at all enough and spending money on onedrive didn't seem worth, so I moved everything over to mega's cloud service, which gives 20gb of storage space free. Onedrive can go die for all I care
I’ve accidentally clicked on “autosave” while working on Word and now, for some reason, all of my files are being synced with OneDrive. This made my disk usage go up to 100% and my PC was running slow so I uninstalled OneDrive but my pc is still running slow. Does anyone have any idea of what I can do? I’m kinda desperate here.
My problem is: the cloud icon keeps blinking and when I click on it, the page 'Microsoft OneDrive' with 'Settings', 'Account', 'Backup', etc (1:05) couldn't show up. Already boosted machine's performance, scanned n cleaned up unnecessary files yet the above still doesn't load. Anyone reading this, please can u help? 😊 PS. I tried going to Documents n did as advised n it still wouldn't work, ie. Page didn't load.
I want OneDrive. However I don't want everything synced automatically. I want some file, like videos, to save to my PC only. I want to remove those videos from one drive without them getting deleted from my PC. How do i do that?
I don't have One Drive icon - I removed one drive using a net method and turned it off. Suddenly this week everything is saving to one drive again, but no one drive visible... What the hell?
Dude I'm literally going through the same thing I just spent five entire days working 10 hours a day trying to recover and reinstall and fix all of the s*** that one drive ruined and about 20 minutes after I finish doing everything my computer just started to switch all the settings back and steal all my shit. A copied everything five different times made five different versions of desktop.. every time I try to fix it now it says I don't have access or permission to open these folders.... OneDrive just created 18 gigabytes worth of data and then restricted me from it on my own computer. This is bullshit!!!! It's not us. It's Microsoft. We didn't sign up for this shit and we don't want it. I literally was seconds away from destroying my computer and destroying my entire music studio.. I said there's something terribly wrong with me something must be wrong with me I must be an idiot or something to be going through this over and over!!! Bill Gates should be burned alive
I just bought word from Microsoft and it automatically save everything to One Drive, but when I click "save as" as noted in your video, there is no option to save to my computer:( Microsoft must have seen your video and made sure no one could do that so easily any longer. :(

HELPPPPP How can i remove things from one drive without it delting from my pc : my gaming pc saved all my cod games and general games files in one drive 💀 , when i removed it, it removed the files from my pc ,,, how can i only remove these JUST IN ONEDRIVE
So, I uninstalled OneDrive... but my computer is saving and installing everything to C: Windows > user > (user) > OneDrive > * instead of my computer. I can't change the default to keep it from saving everything there when I want it to save to my desktop (or another place). The result: I can't install some programs and some programs will not run properly.
You talk very fast 😂, but get the job done. The video was easy to understand and I’m definitely going to try this first thing tomorrow. Thanks! I hate OneDrive. It takes over everything and has zippo for storage really and then wants you to buy more. As a writer and someone who makes a sells products online, I need space for docs and photos and OneDrive isn’t cutting it with their free included space. Then your computer keeps telling you that you can’t save anything because there isn’t space on a computer hardly used. Seriously, Microsoft, I hate you.
I am going thru a big problem. I bought a Microsoft account from a local vendor, and my one drive was synced with that account. recently, Microsoft has removed or doesn't recognize the account, and I can't install anything on my PC. it says access denied and All. I am stuck badly. do you have any suggestions?
One drive cost me money and restricts what I can access. I finished my homework, saved to OneDrive. But when I needed to access the file for email, I could not because it "was not implimented" So I saved to my flash drive and then sent from my flash folder without a problem. The file will be labeled in the OneDrive folder but will show a circular arrow, meaning it is pending
No It Did Not Work I have not setup a OneDrive but everything is going to OneDrive when I save any documents. I have to change the save file to PC then to desk top then to documents to dump OneDrive junk I can not get rid of OneDrive even though I cut it from APS and not set OneDrive up and cut it from start up. OneDrive is like a VIRUS!!! OneDrive shows its ugly head all the time. Even trying to delete all files from OneDrvie delets all the files on my PC OneDrive is a VIRUS!!!!
I have tried all you have mentioned and, I either get options to manage account, but cant click on them as they are greyed out, or, save as, and don't get the option to save this pc, or go to the icon at the bottom right, right click, get settings, them am told Im not signed into the account.?? any other suggestions? this is crazy. Thanks in advance for any additional help and great job on the last 2 posts regarding this as I gave me a couple more things to try. Just out of ideas now.
sadly, my windows 11 looks nothing like your video, so was unable to follow the instructions - especially for selecting or unselecting folders to save... I only saw folders to "display" or not display... not the same thing. Oh well. I guess I have to keep googling for a solution.
OneDrive has been a good program for me in the past, as I like to access certain documents between my desktop and my phone. But I just set up a new PC and I'm reinstalling everything, I'm a gamer with emphasis on mods. Mods that take up more space than the free version of OneDrive can accommodate. I'm not about to drop money to expand my storage space when I already spent good money to build my own PC.
Thank you - I had no idea I could just uninstall OneDrive from my PC and still be able to access them on the website. I have pissed onedrive right off from my PC
Hello, Great video. I just purchased a new laptop with Windows 11 home. When I first opened File Explorer, I only saw OneDrive folders. I couldn't find my library files. How do I have them displayed and also, if they are backup on OneDrive, how do I remove the backup process to OneDrive? Thanks.
Very useful video, thanks. Please go slow ( speaking as well as explaining on video )so that everyone can understand, I had replay it repeatedly to understand. Nevertheless, thanks again.
Can you please explain how to select a few folders which will keep on syncing to One drive. For E.g. I want Word/Excel files to be synced by not downloaded Video files or photos. Can we do that ? One more question, For how many years is this service free? Will MS start charging us later ?
Varun, slow down. I deleted One drive. Didnt want to save screenshots on it. tried to save to clipboard by clipping on Shift, Windows and s buttons. Not working now. I am almost 94 years old. Need a simple method to save screenshots as I listeen to many scientific programs.
The best way to deal with this problem, BEFORE you put any files on your windows 11 computer, is to go into control panel and UNINSTALL OneDrive. Problem solved.
I agree! I just saved all pics to my external hard drives and other PC and deleted since I needed remove on my computer and now they are all gone! One drive removed them from everything. I need to remove this awful drive!
OneDrive is my bane of exsistence, I hate it. How it deletes local files if you didn't set up everything up beforehand, and that if you play, your documents folder gets flooded, and OneDrive sync those files which to me is not needed at all and takes up a lot of space for the OneDrive. Despise it.
This was needlessly complicated and stupid. I have a 1tb SSD in my laptop and 5GB on my cloud. There are going to be several games installed where many files go into the documents folder. There's no way in hell I'm going to have those files needlessly syncing elsewhere.
Thank you your video is very helpful OneDrive kept my computer from shutting down every time I try to shut it down it’s ridiculous really you should have an option whether or not to actually have one drive or when you get your new PC you should have the option of turning it off or turning it on which ever thank you so much keep making videos they’re very helpful have a great day Namaste
My old computer crashed and I HAD TO buy windows 11 there was extra charges to get 10. 10 years of onenote files are gone, just the files that I experimentally saved to onedrive are still there. Paid geeksquad to find them but no help. It's really creepy that someone from another country is on my computer remotely looking at everything I have. I got so worried about my bank account I ended the session. This is not freedom and it's all so creepy.
this forced one drive storage from a clean install has caused me to loose thousands of photos. Who in their right mind would allow something like this from windows. Its one thing to have a BACKUP on onedrive its another thing to prevent local storage. I got a warning that my one drive was full so I thought who cares ill just delete a bunch of shit without realising that it WAS THE ONLY STORAGE OF THOSE FILES THAT I HAD and that the "local" files were just links to one drive. What an absolute joke.
WIN 11 PRO, SETTINGS, THEN NO SUCH DIALOG BOX RE ONEDRIVE... DEAD END. ONEDRIVE DOES NOT GIVE ME ANY OPTIONS, IT DOES THINGS THE WAY IT WANTS TO WITHOUT ASKING OR NOTIFYING, MY FILEFINDER WON'T EVEN *SEE ONEDRIVE!!! CONSTANT ERROR MESSAGES ON LOADING, VIEWING, MOVING OR COPYING MY FILES FROM ONEDRIVE TO MY REAL DRIVE. CLOUDS SUCK FOR NORMAL DRIVING, IT'S CALL *FOG!!!
Microsoft: I used to like OneDrive - I would recommend it to people. Then it started moving my files without asking me. It took me weeks to figure out what was happening. Many hours wasted. It had me thinking of switching to Apple. Please stop this!

Exactly! My thought was Gee, couldn't you go a little faster? (sarcasm). However, learned one can go to settings and slow down speed.
NOT WHEN THE INSTRUCTIONS STEER YOU INTO A DEAD END WITH 'NOT AT THIS ADDRESS' RESULTS.
Fuck the drive cause it has a storage limit and wants me to buy more. I have plenty of storage built right into my computer.
But how would MS make more money that way?
Exactly, fuck the drive! I'm not renting a storage unit neither, if I got plenty of room in my basement.

Did this.. it unlinked i believe but now i can't get my pictures to upload it brings me to where are my pictures short cut and nothing is there.

What can I do?

Very useful video, thanks. Please go slow ( speaking as well as explaining on video )so that everyone can understand, I had replay it repeatedly to understand. Nevertheless, thanks again.
Tip for next time: you can go to Settings, under the video, and change the playback speed.
Can you please explain how to select a few folders which will keep on syncing to One drive.
For E.g. I want Word/Excel files to be synced by not downloaded Video files or photos. Can we do that ?
One more question, For how many years is this service free? Will MS start charging us later ?
They charge for cloud storage.
Thank you.
Not even reddit nor Microsoft forums ever said this surprisingly easy fix.
Yes, FIX, because OneDrive is a bug/error. LMAO
Don't be surprised if OneDrive turns itself back on with an update.
it shows me it's off but still saves the screenshot how do i fix it?
You talk a little fast, but you gave me the info I needed. :-)
Thank you so much for your help!!! so glad I found your video - OneDrive was driving me nuts
Varun, slow down. I deleted One drive. Didnt want to save screenshots on it. tried to save to clipboard by clipping on Shift, Windows and s buttons. Not working now. I am almost 94 years old. Need a simple method to save screenshots as I listeen to many scientific programs.
The best way to deal with this problem, BEFORE you put any files on your windows 11 computer, is to go into control panel and UNINSTALL OneDrive. Problem solved.
I agree! I just saved all pics to my external hard drives and other PC and deleted since I needed remove on my computer and now they are all gone! One drive removed them from everything. I need to remove this awful drive!
OneDrive is my bane of exsistence, I hate it. How it deletes local files if you didn't set up everything up beforehand, and that if you play, your documents folder gets flooded, and OneDrive sync those files which to me is not needed at all and takes up a lot of space for the OneDrive. Despise it.
I don't know how to thank you but I'm very grateful for you ❤❤❤❤
This was needlessly complicated and stupid. I have a 1tb SSD in my laptop and 5GB on my cloud. There are going to be several games installed where many files go into the documents folder. There's no way in hell I'm going to have those files needlessly syncing elsewhere.
Moving to windows 11, onedrive is shit, i dont understand why it wants to backup my desktop by force.
This doesn't work anymore. Microsoft deleted all those options. Fk! msft!
thanks, bro. You can rely on this channel for quick tips on tech. Good job
Thank you your video is very helpful OneDrive kept my computer from shutting down every time I try to shut it down it’s ridiculous really you should have an option whether or not to actually have one drive or when you get your new PC you should have the option of turning it off or turning it on which ever thank you so much keep making videos they’re very helpful have a great day Namaste
My old computer crashed and I HAD TO buy windows 11 there was extra charges to get 10. 10 years of onenote files are gone, just the files that I experimentally saved to onedrive are still there. Paid geeksquad to find them but no help. It's really creepy that someone from another country is on my computer remotely looking at everything I have. I got so worried about my bank account I ended the session. This is not freedom and it's all so creepy.
pisti na onedrive whahshasa, thankyou lodsss!
Can you please make a video on how can i change USERs name in THIS PC option.!
Thank you very much for the tips, most helpful.
this forced one drive storage from a clean install has caused me to loose thousands of photos. Who in their right mind would allow something like this from windows. Its one thing to have a BACKUP on onedrive its another thing to prevent local storage. I got a warning that my one drive was full so I thought who cares ill just delete a bunch of shit without realising that it WAS THE ONLY STORAGE OF THOSE FILES THAT I HAD and that the "local" files were just links to one drive. What an absolute joke.
Thank you so much, very helpful, straight to the point. Love it👍
I can't find Options under File.
omg thank you one drive sucks ass i couldnt run the sm64 builder
Thank you so much for this!
Try getting you documents folder out of onedrive 7-24-2023
Kya poorana windows 10 waala video upload kar diya.
Interface is completely different in win 11
Thanks for this unique video.
this guy talks so darn fast, I can't keep up 😒
Your video is to fast you cant follow it
Cool dude! Thanks
WIN 11 PRO, SETTINGS, THEN NO SUCH DIALOG BOX RE ONEDRIVE... DEAD END. ONEDRIVE DOES NOT GIVE ME ANY OPTIONS, IT DOES THINGS THE WAY IT WANTS TO WITHOUT ASKING OR NOTIFYING, MY FILEFINDER WON'T EVEN *SEE ONEDRIVE!!! CONSTANT ERROR MESSAGES ON LOADING, VIEWING, MOVING OR COPYING MY FILES FROM ONEDRIVE TO MY REAL DRIVE. CLOUDS SUCK FOR NORMAL DRIVING, IT'S CALL *FOG!!!
Your the man thank you so much for the video
Thanks dude. I was helpful
Thanks so much for this.
Microsoft: I used to like OneDrive - I would recommend it to people. Then it started moving my files without asking me. It took me weeks to figure out what was happening. Many hours wasted. It had me thinking of switching to Apple. Please stop this!
It is so fkng idiotic that Steam does that in the first place
thanks bro its very helpful
Worst App ever made OnerDrive,kills alot of my programs especially data files.
Thanks for the great help!

I just don't use cloud storing services. I hate them.
