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.

    Good day, here is how you remove the FOR YOU section:

    (1) login to OneDrive via a browser.

    (2) click on the Settings icon (top right)

    (3) click on options

    (4) click on Photos

    (5) go to "For You section in My Files" and click on "Hide for now"

    Found a helpful reddit posting, that has simple steps. Remember, when stranded by Microsoft failures, turn to those who can help.

    https://www.reddit.com/r/onedrive/comments/u8h9x0/how\_to\_remove\_the\_for\_you\_section\_from\_onedrive/

    One post offers steps, another offers a browser extension to prevent a web page element like "For You" from existing, and many others!

    I hope this helps!

    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.

    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.
