  1. I DONT want One Drive, I want to store all my files locally


    One Drive shows over 3000 sync errorsI just want to migrate all my files to local. I never needed or wanted them on cloud. If I just unlink one drive it seems I cant access any of my files as windows decided to save them all only to one drive

    :)

    Stored files in Hard Drive

    I'd like to know if there's a way of listing all the files stored in my hardware and arrange them by size, because I want to keep track of what's on my hard drive. Thanks, I hope you answer.

    You can use Windows search. Just search for *.* on a desired drive. When list is done just arrange them by size LOL.

    You can do it via command line as well and make an output text file showing files and their sizes (but without arrangement)

    I DONT want One Drive, I want to store all my files locally

    Recent shortcuts for apps show files on OneDrive instead of local hard drive

    I was able to follow the steps and uncheck the "Use Office apps to sync" box but it didn't change Office's behavior. I opened and closed an Excel spreadsheet on my local hard drive. After that, when I right-clicked on the Excel icon pinned to the taskbar, a link to the OneDrive cloud file was in the list of recent files instead of a link to the file on my hard drive.

    Do you have any other suggestions?

    Thanks!
