By default, from the moment of purchase, a whole set of programs can be installed on your computer, the purpose of which may be unclear or may not be needed.
Such programs, besides, appear from the installation packages of various games, etc., because it is often necessary to figure out where it appeared and for what is needed on a PC one or another software.
In this material we will answer questions about Onedrive: what is this application, for which this program is needed, etc.
Features
The developer of the OneDrive program is Microsoft. This program began to appear on our PCs together with the appearance of Windows 8 - she was present in the "eight", version 8.1 and "dozen".
Sure, similar programs were on the PC and in older operating systemsbut modern name and modern appearance This software received only starting with the "eight".
How clear from the written above is standard program Microsoft, which is pre-installed, that is, appears on the computer immediately after installation operating system, in standard basic package programs.
However, it is important to understand that strictly speaking, One Drive is not a program, but a service or service that is associated with virtual or "cloud" data warehouses on the network. It is with such storage and interacts software.
In essence, this software is just as a "cloud" data warehouse. Pit is one that the data itself is stored on the network, and not on your PC, but the service allows you to quickly and easily "contact" with the "cloud" from your computer and manage files in it.
Important! Such a service is present not only on computers, but also on tablets and smartphones on the basis of this operating system, and it is for them that it is most necessary. Similar services under other names are also implemented in Apple and Android systems.
The ONE DRIVE "cloud" itself was launched in February 2014, but in fact, it was only renaming the old similar program Sky Drive, which appeared in 2007.
But old program Relevates to the online services provided by Microsoft by Windows Windows.
Although at the initial stage of differences between these programs practically did not exist, one drive soon received some improvements.
Scope of application
Which area does this service apply, and how can it be useful?
To answer this question, it is necessary to understand the basic principles of work and the features of the technology of "cloud" data storage.
With this technology, there is no need to take the memory of its computer large quantity Files and information.
Speaking simply, in the virtual space there is some storage to which the user can send its data - files, folders, etc., without saving them on their computer.
Technically, these files are stored on powerful servers, but the user can access them almost instantly, just using the described program.
It allows you to view, organize and move files in the "cloud", download them from there, etc.
To access the file storage, you need a password that you created at the first registration in the "cloud" or when the files are first unloading. After you entered your password in program One. DRIVE, this service is associated with the storage, requests access to it from your account, and finally presents it to you. All this is happening very quickly, although there are cases when "cloud" storages were not available due to troubleshooting on servers.
Note! Analogue of this software from Google is Google disc, also on the network is implemented, for example, Yandex disk. In this case, the information from the "cloud" is actually stored on Guga and Yandex servers, respectively. In the case of one DRIVE, it is stored on Microsoft servers, regardless of what ways (from the phone or PC) came there.
Thus, who can use this software?
It is indispensable for people working with large amounts of information - photographers, montagers, designers, designers, etc.
They can upload information to the "cloud", freeing the memory of the computer.
But the ordinary user can be needed.
In the "cloud" you can store many photos for several years, bought films, especially important informationwhich cannot be lost in the case of a hardware failure on the computer.

Disconnection and deletion
In fact, the service has many advantages and a wide range of users.
But not all users like it, for example, a significant drawback is that the process is always hanging in autoload.
And therefore has an unnecessary load on cPU, memory and generally hardware computer.
Turn off the service is almost impossible. Even in the off state, it constantly synchronizes folders and files.
ONEDRIVE - Built-in Windows Client cloud service from Microsoft. The thing seems to be important, useful, but why many users have an insurmountable desire to divert it with the root after 15 minutes dating?
What is needed onedrive and why he infuriates users so much
ONEDRIVE cloud storage exists for more than 10 years, but part of the operating system it has become only with the advent of Windows 8. The component is designed for synchronization custom files On devices running Windows (computers, Xbox), as well as on mobile devices based on iOS, Android and some other platforms.
Without nowhere, and the idea to equip the system with one of them, you can not say anything, good. But, as it happens with many Microsoft products, led sales. According to many windows, the ONEDRIVE service turned out to be dull, unsuccessful, obsessive and extremely uncomfortable. Therefore, despite the seeming utility, it does not have more users than internet browser Explorer.
Below is a list of ONEDRIVE qualities that cause maximum discontent:
- Brakes. Shipping data 5-10 times slower than.
- Censorship. There are cases of removal from the repository (password protected!) Non-license and unethical, according to Microsoft, user content.
- Delete data from a computer. When the user disables the synchronization with the storage, data from the desktop, from folders documents, images, etc. can remain only in oneDrive.
- Frequent synchronization failures that are inaccessible to files in opening time, as well as to disrupt the changes made.
- Limiting the volume of one file with 2 gigabytes.
- The client application ONEDRIVE is constantly hanging in the system tray, we have resources. When closing, strives to climb there again.
In short, ONEDRIVE is simply created for those who are looking for problems.
The only plus program is integrating with a M $ Office package and an enlarged storage amount on separate tariff plans. The rest are unprivileged windows users 10 Total 5 GB of disk space is obtained.
How to disable ONEDRIVE

In professional and corporate edits, Windows, the same can be done via editing tool. group Policy Gpedit.msc (most conveniently opened through a system search). The settings we need are in the section " Computer configuration» -> « Administrative templates» -> « Components windows» -> « Onedrive.».
Here you can prohibit saving documents in One Drive by default or activate the ban on its use to store files.

If you are lucky, whose system allows you to do it, you just have to open " Applications and opportunities" or " Programs and components", Find the desired (more precisely, unnecessary) element and click the button" Delete».
Those who are not lucky in this regard can do as follows:
- Run the ONEDRIVE installer with the -Ninstall parameter.
- Delete an application with third-party default programs.
Both are unsafe. Uninstalling ONEDRIVE where it is not provided may disrupt the operating system functions. Therefore, all further actions are your fear and risk.
Starting the installer - file Onedrivesetup.exe.with a key – uninstallis performed in the command console with admin rights. Insert the instruction in it with the appropriate version and press ENTER:
% Windir% \\ System32 \\ OneDrivesetUp.exe -uninstall :: For 32-bit windows.
% WINDIR% \\ SYSWOW64 \\ ONEDRIVESTUP.EXE -UNINSTALL :: For 64-bit.
Before executing the command, the ONEDRIVE application must be closed. Deleting happens without any requests and warnings. After it, the contents of the folder and the cloud installer remain in place.
Removing ONEDRIVE with third-party default programs is performed by methods, usual for these programs. For example, in RevounInStaller - through forced uninstallation by the name of the application or the path to the executable file (folder).
If after deleting you want to install ondrive again, it is enough to run enough command line Installator Onedrivesetup.exe.(The instruction is emphasized by an orange line on the screenshot of the console). But this time without parameters.
