Oh, OneDrive
It might just be my most requested article: how to rid yourself of OneDrive.
It's ironic, I guess. I sell an online course on how to use OneDrive, but I'm also showing you how to get rid of it.
Just goes to show -- OneDrive's not everyone's cup of tea. And to be fair: it really is Microsoft's fault.
Also this week
- Giving Google your number.
- Windows 10 support -- extended?
- Finding phone numbers from email.
- Backing up those OneDrive files.
As always, links below.
