Please help me disable personal vault I didn't want it and I can't get rid of it.

Hi,

Disabling the Personal Vault feature in OneDrive can be straightforward, but the exact steps can vary slightly depending on whether you're using a PC or a mobile device. Here's how you can do it:

On a PC:

1. **Open OneDrive Settings**:
   • Find the OneDrive icon in your system tray (bottom-right corner of the screen). It might be hidden, so you may need to click on the upward arrow to show hidden icons.
   • Right-click the OneDrive icon and choose "Settings."
2. **Access Personal Vault Settings**:
   • In the OneDrive settings window, go to the “Personal Vault” tab.
3. **Disable Personal Vault**:
   • Here, you should see an option to disable Personal Vault. Follow the instructions to disable it.

On a Mobile Device:

1. **Open OneDrive App**:
   • Open the OneDrive app on your mobile device.
2. **Go to Settings**:
   • On Android, tap the three horizontal lines in the upper-left corner, then tap the gear icon for settings.
   • On iOS, tap your profile picture or the Me icon, then tap "Settings."
3. **Personal Vault Options**:
   • Look for Personal Vault in the settings menu.
4. **Disable Personal Vault**:
   • If there's an option to disable Personal Vault, follow the on-screen instructions to do so.

Additional Information:

• **Personal Vault is a Core Feature**: Keep in mind that Personal Vault is a core feature of OneDrive. While you can disable it, the option might be to stop using it rather than completely removing it from your view. In some cases, you can just ignore it if you don't plan to use it.
• **Support and Help**: If you can't find the option to disable Personal Vault or encounter difficulties, consider looking at Microsoft's support pages for OneDrive or contacting their customer support for assistance.

Remember, once you disable Personal Vault, any files stored in it will no longer be protected by the additional security features that Personal Vault offers. Make sure to move any important files to another secure location before disabling it.

Hello! The option to disable the personal vault is nowhere to be seen. I want to remove mine because it's causing my files to not sync.

Hello! The option to disable the personal vault is nowhere to be seen. I want to remove mine because it's causing my files to not sync.

Yes, I have the same problem. Mine are not syncing either. And it goes to sleep, you can't select an increment greater than 8 hours or so. I feel like I am a prisoner to this personal vault.

If I stop using it, my files do not sync, so that is not an option. The option to disable is not available as listed in the description above - please someone help - Windows 10, 64.

I am being blocked from access my files already on one drive. The vault is a total waste of time, money, and effort. I saved items to my own PC to bypass the issue. I have found a way to bypass the silly vault issue to reach my stored files, but removing the troublesome vault, is my preferred answer.
