OneDrive says preparing in notification panel

[onlytanmoy]

Hiya, I am using S20 FE 5G. At times I see a notification from OneDrive which says 'Preparing' and then vanishes, how do I turn off this pesky notification? I checked in OneDrive settings, nothing there to manage this.

Yes I kept seeing this which for me was annoying too.

This looks to me that OneDrive isn't as optimised as Samsung Cloud was for syncing seamlessly.

I couldn't find a way to turn off the notification either @onlytanmoy 

Personally I came away from OneDrive and now use Samsung Cloud for backing up what it does now and Dropbox which syncs seamlessly.

Thanks for your response. Seems I need to uninstall OneDrive too

That's a personal choice which I decided to take.

Figured out a way to get rid of the notification...went to App info of OneDrive and then Notifications and disabled 'Show notifications' 😊 no more annoying notifications post that.

That's cool you've found a way to hide the notifications.

Thank you for updating your thread.

For me the fact that the notification displayed showed to me the sync with OneDrive isn't as seamless as I want.

Sorry I'm so late to chime in! I've been super busy with a hacker! Bothersome, really..... But another way that I find comforting with the One Drive notification is that that's how I know when my hacker is back on my phone.  There's a completely deprecated, mutilated, outdated version of One Drive that floats to the surface of this toilet he likes to stalk me on. I can find it when I go into safe mode, but I don't need it or use it, so I just leave it him to splash around in when he visits my phone.  Sometimes things are a lil more nefarious than they appear...... Jus sayin......
