How to Disable, Kill, Destroy, and Quit the Microsoft OneDrive Sign Up Prompt for Good If you want to make the annoying dialog go away for good, you’re going to need to disable OneDrive, and there are a couple of ways you could do this. The Simplest Option: Disable OneDrive from Startup The reason OneDrive starts up with Windows every time is because it’s listed in the startup items in your PC’s configuration. To disable OneDrive from starting up every single time you reboot your PC, just right-click on the Taskbar and choose the “Task Manager” option—or use the handy CTRL+SHIFT+ESC keyboard shortcut. In Task Manager, choose the “More Details” option at the bottom, and then flip over to the Startup tab, where you’ll see the offending line item. Give it a good whack with the Disable button, and you’re all done. The next time you reboot your PC, that annoying OneDrive login window should be gone. Never Gonna Use OneDrive?
You Can Just Uninstall It RELATED: Rather than disable something you plan to never use, the nuclear option is to simply uninstall it. Head into Settings (press Windows+I), click the “Apps” option, find Microsoft OneDrive under the “Apps & Features” section, and then click the “Uninstall” button. RELATED: Note: If you’re using the Pro version of Windows, you’ll need to use a group policy fix to, but for Home users and if you just want this to stop popping up and annoying you at startup, uninstalling should be fine. Or You Could Use OneDrive, Perhaps Alternatively, you could actually use OneDrive if you want. If you have an Office 365 subscription you’ve got access to a terabyte of space, and it works pretty well.
I was recently involved in a discussion about the capabilities of OneDrive for Business for Mac, with my co-worker, Michael Toole. One of his customers was in the process of migrating network shares over to SharePoint. Majority of their user base was on Mac, and had very little experience with the web UI’s, so OneDrive sounded like a default choice for syncing their files to local machine. In this post, I share our experience and findings for a quick and easy way to address the sync problems on Mac (I’ll share the credit for this post with Michael). Currently OneDrive for Business does not have a sync client for Mac. It’s on the roadmap for later this year or early 2015 although expect it to be released with limited functionality such as only personal site sync (no team site).
In the meantime there are few third party apps which does the same. There is an app currently available in the iTunes app store but only works if you have a SharePoint Online or qualifying Office 365 business subscription. Else, look at using Microsoft Document Connection for Mac.
This allows you to connect the libraries to your Mac in a very similar way as the windows explorer view on Windows. Although document connection does not support offline access. To get around that limitation, download files to the local device. When the Mac OS is offline, you’ll be able to make any changes using the local Office applications. Once the Mac has a network connection, saving the updated documents to the Document Connection is available. It’ll also respect your check in and check out (read as exclusive check out).
So, check out your document while you are online. Make changes while offline, and then check in back to the library when connected. Items also cannot be saved directly to OneDrive for Business through Document Connection. Newly created files on the Mac need to be stored locally and then uploaded to the system. Spread out your files across multiple document libraries instead of folders in the same location. OneDrive for Business does not allow specific folder sync, but do allow sync across multiple libraries. In short try to go for flat structure across multiple libraries rather than the traditional folder structure. It’s not the most convenient way when compared to windows, but might be the best way until the public beta for OneDrive for Mac releases next year.
