How to turn off OneDrive with Group Policy.

Press Windows + R, type gpedit.msc, and press Enter. Navigate to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > OneDrive.

  • Save documents to OneDrive by default: Disabled
  • Prevent OneDrive from generating network traffic until the user signs in to OneDrive: Enabled
  • Prevent the usage of OneDrive for file storage: Enabled

The last setting disables OneDrive on your system; make sure to change it to Disabled if you use OneDrive.

Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

We're on World right now, they kinda frown on that kinda thing here, might be why they didn't link it.
