File explorer keeps asking for a sign in but then tells me I can't log in with a personal log in and requires a business or education log in....

Going round in circles...

    Alright, to remove the "Please sign in" button, simply do as follows.
    First, at the top, click the three dots to get extra options and select "Options"

    Then in the new window, uncheck the option for "Show files from Office.com" and the "Please sign in" button should go away like mine did.

    Hope this helps!

    I don't get the option to remove old accounts that I no longer have access to, only the ones that I am currently logged into.

    When I click on Manage, it takes me to log into that account (which I no longer have access to).

    hi Eric could you share by unchecking, apart from not having that annoying sign in, what happens? you mean all our files are stored on office.com even when we save locally?
