Hi there, just recently my OneDrive now has a "For you" section to "access my memories" and is showing some random pictures.

Is there a way to disable/turn off this feature ?

Thanks in advance.

    The addition of "For You" was a horrible idea, at least in the way that it has been implemented. Who thought this was a good idea? This needs to be removed from the "My Files" page of OneDrive Online (web). It's taking up a huge chunk of valuable real estate. When I want to see "My Files", that doesn't mean I want to see "My Memories" or "For You". Please allow us to turn this off or move it to a link in the left pane so users can access it when they want - not every time they go to access their files.

    Mavis - Please explain how we can "submit a report on file feedback".

    Thanks.

    Yes, I struggle to use One Drive now, as it keeps showing me photos of my dead family, a trauma that took years of therapy to get over, but now every time I login to work (I’m a paying Office 365 subscriber) I am greeted with very painful memories that deeply impact my mental health. This is an awful feature and is quite frankly abusive. I hate social media and I don’t use it, I didn’t expect Microsoft to turn a professional cloud service into a hurtful gimmick. My files are my files, my photos are my photos, I will look at them when I choose! Fix it please, or I will be leaving your service.

    I agree.. this was a horrible idea. "This needs to be removed from the "My Files" page of OneDrive Online (web). It's taking up a huge chunk of valuable real estate.

    Unfortunately there are two feedback items for upvote. Please also upvote this one:
