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.

    I struggle to use One Drive for a similar reason. If I wanted to see my photos I would go look at them. I don't need them blasted in my face when I'm trying to access my cloud files.

    The For you section keeps coming back, we need a way to disable it permanently.

    The steps you offered are no longer available in OneDrive. But I don't think your steps address the question, which was asking to be able to eliminate from OneDrive's "Photos" view online the "For You" section (because it includes privacy-busting histories of images in its "On this day"; "November moments"; and "Last week throughout the years" views).

    The need isn't just to stop notifications, it's to prevent the "For You" photo collections from displaying at the top of the screen.

    My pretty stupid request is that

    I don't want to see the "For You" or in German the "Für Sie" section ANYWHERE when i go to OneDrive.

    I expected a simple hint, how to manage that for my account.

    Not really. You can turn it off, but you have to turn it off on *every* *single* *device* and *every* *single* *browser* you use.

    This option to turn off that "For You" **** could not have been implemented worse.

    This answer (working as of Dec 21, 2022) is copied from Reddit because MS didn't want to share. Thank you bluedevil72!

    1. Go to your OneDrive main browser page.
    2. Click the Gear Icon in upper right, to access Settings.
    3. Click on Options
    4. Ignore the Manage Storage page, and on the left side menu, click on Photos.
    5. You can see there the option to Hide the For You section.
