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.

    Just came across this link that pops up an email support window in OneDrive:

    This will create a support ticket with MS. Be sure to register your dismay about this using this link. Let's see if it gets us anywhere.

    Yes, I hate the "for you" as well. I don't want it, don't need it and as everyone else said, it takes up unecessary space.

    I get why new features are activated for everyone automatically, but for the group of more experienced users, we should always be able to turn them off.

    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.
