Disable OneDrive with gpedit, On Windows 10 TP Build 9860: Open C:\Windows\System32\gpedit Local Computer Policy / Computer Configuration / Administrative Templates / Windows Components / OneDrive Disable, Save documents to OneDrive by default. Enable, Prevent the usage of OneDrive for file storage. Enable, Prevent OneDrive files from syncing over metered connections.
Thanks for the info Murphy, very helpful One related thing to bear in mind when using OneDrive (and probably other cloud storage services) in general. There are auto monitored by the providers so be careful about what gets uploaded, and I'm not talking about Warez. I still have a f@#ked MS account, because I took a few silly photos at a bucks party. Which my WP7 phone auto uploaded to Skydrive. MS's auto check system didn't like them and blocked the account. This caused me really problems as that account was liked to my Phone (had to be factory reset) my Windows 8 laptop (had to change to a new MS account), my Xbox GT (also needed to be changed to the new MS account) This also meant having to change my MS/Xbox/Zune payment details which is a pain at the best of times, never mind when you can't access the main email address they are linked too. I'm not saying the service isn't good or handy, but the auto upload can cause real troubles.
Thumbs up for Micro$oft for having your back. NOT! The jerks.. This is one of the reasons I don't subscribe to ANY "cloud" crap. My stuff is "my stuff". Once I relinquish it to the powers of the internet, then it becomes "everybody's stuff". There are many many many examples I could think of right now.
I have to agree here! Anyway fact is that MS has warned the User of the TP upfront not to use the TP with any sensitive data. Who still do that, must just 'face the music'! That Privacy Statement was displayed to any of the 'legal' user's of the TP and if they haven't read it, who's fault is that? If MS would carry on with using the same procedures in the final release of the OS and later on, I would stop to use their software and although convince our customer for to change to others. I'm not in any means an friend of MS, I just try to be as objective as possible.
