Stop OneDrive from prompting

michael_c — Tue, 22 Dec 2020 21:48:30 GMT

Anyone know how to stop OneDrive from constantly asking me if I want to move to it? If I take photo's or screenshots I get this annoying pop-up! I've already asked Microsoft who say I need to speak to Samsung.

I've been down the route of disabling the app, stop notifications etc etc. I've even factory reset the phone and it still wont stop. You cant uninstall the app as it is now "built into" the phone.

Any advice appreciated

Thanks

youa can turn off notifications in menu options, but be aware that Samsung will not be providing cloud storage, instead offering and using onedrive

And that makes it more annoying, mine is disabled, yet still it prompts. Notifications are off and still it pops up ...

I have the same problem!

Onedrive has been disabled on my phone

All updates uninstalled back to factory

Notifications turned off and it still pops up everytime a photo is opened. It is really starting to annoy me.

Fix this problem Samsung.

Samsung cloud is shutting down and being replaced by onedrive so eventually you have to move unfortunately.

Why do you have to move? What if you NEVER used Samsung cloud and don;t have use for a cloud account. I backup my phone regulalrly, so my photos are stored on my PC which is also backed up. I have no use for a cloud account. I do not need to access my photos or information when out and about. I'm not that precious.

As users we should have options to what we want t use and what we don;t want to use and Samsung forcing us to move to One Cloud is not giving us options.

I have disabled the app, but ideally I would like to remove it completely because I have no use fo rit. I will probabaly jailbreak my phone so I can remove this app and others that are built in, that I have no use for.

This is such a pain. I have already deleted everything from my Samsung Cloud account as I have an unlimited Google Drive account, which everything is backed up to. I do not want to back up anything to OneDrive!!!

I just jumped through the hoops to login into my samsung account here to say my opinion.

I am not even signed into my samsung account on my phone. I have never backed up photos to it. I am notble to disable the app or its notifications - samsung cloud.

So i literally hate this *****. It is my 5th galaxy phone and I am very disapointed because of this ****** notification, besides others.

Totally agree, I hate being forced to use some sort of cloud system, I have never signed up for Samsung Cloud or any other cloud service, why should we. Look what happened if we had of signed up to Samsung cloud, its being moved to someone else (onedrive) so we sign up to overdrive and then we will be told its moving to someone else then how do we know who else has access to our files, its just a way of getting us to buy more storage in the future. I used to own an Iphone and it drove me nuts that every time I took a photograph it appeared on my iPad and my mac....why?

Good news, the last day to move is the 31st July, so it'll soon be over and hopefully not notify us anymore... 😆

It's spam. The date it's supposed to end keeps moving further out.

Frustrating BS. As if I don't get enough scammer telemarketer calls, now I get to deal with lying notifications and threats to delete all of my gallery images from my phone. Stupid. Just stupid.

This is even more of a problem now, since the last update. The stupid thing pops up right after I dismiss it, and Samsung has greyed out the ability to turn notifications off for the Samsung account storage app. I use Google to backup my phone, I don't want this Samsung *****!

You have to Unlink the Microsoft account with Samsung account. That should solve your notification problem.

Just use Google backup

Yes...I use Google and thumbprint back ups. No need for onedrive but nothing stops the notifications...grr
