To do that, use your handy Cortana / Win search feature and search for “ Notifications“: Okay, let’s turn these notifications off. See the icon with the red “x”? Yeah, that’s OneDrive. To start, here’s what I see when I don’t have OneDrive set up. But that’s going to be obvious once we go through the steps. If you do decide to go with OneDrive, of course, you’ll want to re-enable notifications so it can keep you apprised of changes. Nonetheless, I have to say that I still encourage you to use a cloud storage system like OneDrive anyway because even if it’s just old content or ZIP archies, it’s darn useful to have a backup.įor this reason, I’m not going to encourage you to completely axe OneDrive but show you how to turn off the notifications. Services like Dropbox, for example, don’t hide that they scan files uploaded to check if they’re a violation of the terms of service or violate copyright laws. Microsoft’s version of cloud storage is OneDrive and it’s pretty well implemented, even supporting MacOS X systems and Apple iPads, among its many devices.īut not everyone’s a fan of cloud storage for the reasons highlighted above.
There are dozens of companies that offer you the chance to store photos, documents and other files “somewhere online”, which works great if you have a good Internet connection and trust them to keep your data private and confidential. Windows really wants to help you keep up with what’s going on with your computer, and of course Microsoft is a happy player in the new world of cloud-based storage.
