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 found a work-around to hide the "For You" section. I have the AdBlock extension installed for Chrome and I used its "Hide Something On This Page" feature to hide the block that holds the "For You" section. Now I have more screen real estate than before.

    Thanks! This was super helpful!!!!

    Please provide an option to turn off the "storage of the day" on the web page. It is annoying.

    I totally agree! MS OneDrive team please allow the user to easily disable this horrible, screen-space wasting, feature.

    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.
