While OneDrive is a really good cloud service, you may be inclined to disable it if you already have another online storage service like Google, Dropbox, Mega, Amazon Drive, or something similar.

Also, sometimes OneDrive moves your files to the cloud and leaves you with only thumbnails (not actual files) or shortcuts on your local drive, and you won't be able to access them unless you are connected to the internet. It helps you keep your photos, documents, and other data backed up, synced, and accessible on all your devices connected to your OneDrive account.īut the problem is it may keep popping up from time to time asking you to back up your data or it may slow down your internet and PC. It is a built-in file hosting and synchronization service you get when setting up your Windows 11 operating system.

OneDrive is a cloud storage service that is developed and managed by Microsoft. To disable OneDrive in Windows 11, right-click the OneDrive icon in the taskbar and select 'Settings.' Click on the 'Account' tab and select 'Unlink this PC.' This will remove your OneDrive account from your computer.
