I just went through my settings and there are a few things to note:Ģ) OneDrive Installer must be Machine-Wideģ) I used GPOs to have OneDrive silently sign in users, use files-on-demand, sync specific SharePoint Libraries, and most importantly limit each user to one session. Read this to disable Onedrive in Windows Basic/RT.Hi I apologize but its been a while since I set this up.
Note that this only works on Windows 8.1 Pro and Windows 8.1 Enterprise editions because only the Pro and Enterprise editions have group policies. The application will no more be launched with Windows startup. Step 5: Here choose the Enabled option instead of Not Configured and click on OK. Step 4: In the right panel that has three options, double click the second one which says Prevent the usage of OneDrive for file storage. Step 3: Double click the OneDrive folder icon and you should see something similar to this. It can be found in Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\OneDrive Step 2: Now you need to navigate through the left side console tree to find OneDrive option.
Step 1: Open Group Policy Editor by typing gpedit.msc either in Search panel (Win+S) or in Run box (Win+R). Let's walk through with the steps I followed to get it disabled.
With a little exercise I was able to prevent it from auto-starting every time my system starts. Since I don't use this service as my primary backup, it's not worth to let my resources go behind this. Moreover there is no such easy to go option to exit or disable it. With all these advantages, there is one thing I don't like about this service is, it gets started with Windows against my wishes. The application comes tightly coupled with the latest Windows and provides very easy integration with all other Microsoft products. OneDrive (previously known as SkyDrive) is a cloud storage service which provides free file hosting up to 15 GB for new users.
