My God I hate this. My wife will tell me she’s confused and can’t find any of her documents, and lo and behold the Microsoft somehow enabled OneDrive and either replaced everything on the computer with her account, or moved everything from the computer to God knows where.
Does it help to disable onedrive at startup?
I’ve seen it get turned on all by itself after a feature update. Maybe it can help.
This is her business computer so it needs to be Windows sadly.
Do I look like I know what a OneDrive is?
I just want to save my gosh darn word document.
Cloud storage by Microsoft.
“Your OneDrive is now full…”
Thanks, Microsoft, how about you use my 1TB SSD instead.

That’s my data! I don’t know you!

protip: when set to “all files available offline” it does both. you’re welcome.
When I was setting up my new computer late last year, OneDrive wanted to sync everything in my user folders to OneDrive. No idea why. I knew it’d never fit everything anyway. To get it to stop, I had to create a brand new user account without a Microsoft account attached, move everything over to the new account, and delete the old account.
Now, I only have OneDrive sync my college stuff (homework, projects, notes, PowerPoints, etc.). Nothing else syncs to OneDrive. I backup my PC using a program called Backblaze instead.
Can someone link that link?
IIRC, there is a setting to just make it open an Explorer window every time and skip all the crap. I’m on my phone, so I don’t want to look for it rn, but it’s only a few clicks.
(It might just skip the OneDrive step; I don’t have documents this way often, so I can’t recall off the top of my head.)
Ironically, I just passed Explorer to save to a OneDrive folder, but it’s faster and easier to get to the right spot with a classic Explorer “save as” window.
