I Don't Want OneDrive!

That's something I hear relatively often. Personally, I use it and love it, but not everyone feels the same way.

Honestly, in my opinion Microsoft has really messed up how they present OneDrive. (This is a family newsletter, or I'd use stronger language.) Bad feature decisions along with the feeling that it gets rammed down your throat leads to a really, really bad user experience.

Particularly when it comes to its relationship to Microsoft Office.

Let's fix that, shall we? How Do I Disable OneDrive in Office 365? will help.

Also this week:

  • One thing everyone needs to know about technology.
  • Another thing everyone needs to assume about their workplace.
  • Two things to know about getting better search results.

As always, links below.

Take care,
