A Microsoft file hosting and synchronization service.
I have shut off the notifications but it does NOT stop an "on this day" pop up from appearing every so often. I have yet to figure out if there is any way to shut this off
This browser is no longer supported.
Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support.
I can't find any options in the settings for OneDrive to get it to stop sending me reminders of the past "On this day" or "Memories". Is it even possible to turn this feature off?
Update: I found in the actual OneDrive website an option under settings called "On this day memories are available" that is already disabled. What I'm experiencing now is not emails, but popups in the bottom right corner of my screen, so no emails but now these popup notifications that seem to be coming from the operating system.

So much frustration. But there is help, please read:
1.) You can turn off "Your memories from this day." Go to OneDrive via your browser by going to https://onedrive.com and signing in. (This is just another way to see you OneDrive files, accessible from anywhere in the world with internet access and a computer.) In the upper right click the gear icon for Settings. Choose Options. Then choose Notifications. Uncheck the item for memories!
That will stop the emails. Yay!
2.) You were getting memories of pictures which you don't want to see. Even if you turn them off, this is not a good organization!
You can choose which folders are synced, which are only local and which are only in the cloud. Let's say you like getting the memories, but not the work or whatever pictures. You can segregate the pictures. Don't leave them all in one folder. This may take some time now because you didn't set up organization of folder previously. You can create a new folder (OtherPix in my example). It can be under Pictures, or as C:\OtherPix. Then TURN OFF SYNCING for that folder. Or folders. To do this:
They may appear to be deleted, but they are not. You moved them to a non-sync'd folder. Deleted from OneDrive. You can also save a copy to OneDrive and delete from your computer local storage. You have options here. You can create a folder as the only one OneDrive uses for Memories. Stop syncing all the others.
There are details to learn and I may not have given all you need. I hope I have given a hint. I do find it a problem that Microsoft has changed the way SkyDrive, OneDrive whatever works over the years. Maybe it will stay stable for a while.
What a useless feature. Thanks for reassuring me that I will never waste money on OneDrive or 365.
What is your point. Of course OneDrive is a backup and hosts my backups. I am not interested in photos or games. I use it for data. It was sold to me as a work enabler and safety feature, not as entertainment. It does not (yet) start to play the music it thinks I like when I enter it. I have no doubt that at some time it will.
I want to see my tax documents, store installation for programs..not apps..which I may lose, so that I do not have to travel with CDs, view and work my spread sheets and work on documents with colleagues.
My pictures are on one drive because it gives me more space than my laptop. Who ever decided otherwise was way out over their skis.
Why would you even suggest something like that?
No. That is to stop an even more annoying action, which doesn´t only nag you to look at your history, but sends the nag by email. You stop the notification but not the feature.
