How to Stop OneDrive From Running at Startup or Start it Back Up Again You’ll still be able to use the OneDrive application if you do disable it at startup you just visit the website, or when you connect your device to the computer with the USB cable, it’ll still bring OneDrive up on your computer’s display. If you like to keep your taskbar and system tray clean of applications and programs that you seldom use, you might want to stop that OneDrive application from running at startup, so it no longer appears in the taskbar at all. But, at the same time, there is just something about watching that OneDrive icon in the taskbar, sitting there each time you boot up the computer, that just tends to be an annoyance. They also likely do it because they think it’ll be helpful to you at some point rather than it just being there to remind you to use it. However, though only a minor annoyance, OneDrive also takes advantage of the integration to help sell itself on your computers as well by automatically starting up when you turn on the computer and log in to your user accounts, even when you aren’t using it. Microsoft probably doesn’t see this as a huge deal because the process itself isn’t going to be one that used up much of the hardware’s resources, so you’ll barely notice any performance difference. The integration is usually a positive thing: just plug your smartphone into the computer, watch OneDrive direct you to what you need to do to get your pictures uploaded, and after it’s set up once, you even have the option of allowing OneDrive always to upload the pictures from your phone when you connect it to the computer, so you don’t even need to do anything.

Microsoft has owned OneDrive for a while now, even though it didn’t technically found the company back when it all began, but it wasn’t until Windows 10 that it got the full integration treatment, which makes it much easier to use. Microsoft has helped solve the conundrum, at least by a little bit, by offering OneDrive, a cloud-based storage company which they too own, and is available with automatic integration with the operating system. And of course most people usually will choose the latter because they want the better-looking device.

Far too many of us feel like we don’t have as much money as we wish we did when it was time to go shopping for a new device and we often have one choice to make: to buy the device that isn’t anywhere near as nice but comes with plenty of storage, or get that device that looks the part, even though it is going to be a constant struggle to not run out of space to store things on.

You can also use OneDrive as your default save location in Windows 8.1 and sync any folder with OneDrive (previously SkyDrive) in Windows 8.1.One of the age-old problems that many of us face with devices, and even desktop computers, is not having enough hard drive space to store data. RELATED: How to Use OneDrive as Your Default Save Location on Windows 8.1 If you send files to a specific folder in your OneDrive account, you can add that folder as a shortcut on the Send to menu as well using the same procedure outlined in this article. You can move it to a different location in your OneDrive account. The file is transferred to the root of your OneDrive account because we selected the root when creating the shortcut. Right-click on the selected item(s) and select Send to | OneDrive from the popup menu. Select the file(s) or folder(s), using Shift and Ctrl as needed to select multiple files.

Navigate to the file(s) or folder(s) in Windows Explorer that you want to transfer to your OneDrive account.

The OneDrive shortcut displays in the SendTo folder. You can change the name if you want, but we accepted the default name. The name OneDrive is automatically entered in the Type a name for this shortcut edit box.
