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.
A Microsoft file hosting and synchronization service.
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Memories also tries to block your view when you click on My Files in OneDrive Online. The upper third of my screen is filled with something I have absolute no interest of having there. How stupid. I wonder what kind of people support these ideas. And the stuff you are looking for - the folders in My Files - are allmost hidden down below.
Agreed. That is why I came to find this thread as well. The new "For You" section on OneDrive Online is a huge waste of real estate. Microsoft please give us the option to turn this off or revert back to the way it was before. Or add it as a link to the items on the left hand pane. Just get it out of the way of "My Files".
I'm having the same issue and cannot find in Windows 11 where / how this notification is generating. I have turned off every instance I can find of these stupid "memories" (which absolutely should be opt-in, not opt-out. What psychotic executive believes everyone in the world has nothing but bland, happy photos they want to be constantly reminded of?).
It's amazing to me that two "volunteer moderators" have responded to this question with absolutely nothing useful to contribute. Where's the assistance here, folks? Where are the follow-up questions from these moderators so they can figure this out?
I also have "On This Day" turned off, because it's not possible to Exempt/Omit selected folders from what it shows. Who on Earth wants old relationship photos (however nice!) from recurring and constantly reminding everyone of previous relationships? You can't even move photos into archive locations outside of the /My Pictures/ directory, because OneDrive still finds them. So the only option is to turn off On This Day, which is a shame, because I do in general like the feature. It just needs some extra settings and controls to make it suitable for real-life humans to use.
For this any many other reasons, many users HAVE found out how to turn off On This Day. The Microsoft Feedback Hub's thread on the ability to turn it off is one of the most popular ones regarding OneDrive.
So Microsoft's response is to recreate the same feature, and call it "For You". Now, "For You" regurgitates historical photos without any controls over which ones it shows. Except that there's no setting to turn off "For You". And it also... it's like an app getting angry revenge... now it also appears in the Notifications Bar as well as on the web front end for OneDrive.
The only Notification Bar settings are to "Turn Off Notifications from One Drive" - but I want the other notifications. Just not "For You" ones. Or "On This Day". Or whatever Microsoft calls this horrendously insensitive feature next year.
As if this was not enough, all the pictures I have sent to "personal vault" are available at this new "For you" section. The path os those pictures seems to be the original folder, before I moved them to the Vault....
