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 absolutely agree with you. It is a horrible feature. I need sometimes to access my files on the workplace. Pushing my private photo in this way is an invasion of my privacy and misuse of my trust. For now, the only solution is to remove all my files of oneDrive and change to iCloud. It is time to leave microsoft for good.

    And then it comes back the next time you log in. That's not a solution.

    Nothing new, was posted here month ago. The problem is, you have to do this over and over and over agein. Every few weeks on every single device and every single browser you use. Annoying.

    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.
