Toggle the folder sync to OFF at Manage Backup:

there is no option to disable according to instructions. or anywhere else as far as i can tell. but there sure are constant errors about not having enough time to sync the 1 text file in the vault.

i'm not sure how much time it needs to sync one single text file but i don't want constant errors telling me to unlock a "personal vault" to fix the problem.

I don't want to uninstall OneDrive I think having Personal Vault should be made optional and not hardwired into OneDrive.

The best thing I have been able to do is unlink my computer from onedrive. I can leave it that way or partially install onedrive up to the point of installing the personal vault - just leave it hanging. That is how I have it now, I am waiting to see how that works and if it causes me any problems.

Update:

This solution is working for me since August 24, I have OneDrive with no continuous threats to not sync.

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.
