是否要阻止OneDrive在 Windows PC 上同步？您有多种方法可以实现这一目标。例如，您可以暂时暂停所有OneDrive活动、阻止其下载或备份特定文件夹、将其限制为非计量网络等。如果您愿意，您甚至可以一直停用或卸载OneDrive 。
在本教程中，您将了解可用于防止 Microsoft 流行的云存储服务在 PC 上同步文件和文件夹的各种方法。它们适用于Windows 11和Windows 10版本的OneDrive。
1. 暂停所有 OneDrive 活动
您可以在Windows 11(Windows 11)和Windows 10中随时暂停OneDrive（即使它正在主动同步内容）。如果您想在较慢的 Internet 连接上释放带宽，(free up bandwidth on a slower internet connection)这将非常有用。
要暂停 OneDrive，只需选择通知区域附近的OneDrive云图标，然后选择(OneDrive)帮助和设置(Help & Settings )>暂停同步(Pause syncing)。然后，选择一个持续时间- 2 小时(2 hours)、8 小时(8 hours)或24 小时(24 hours)。如果看不到OneDrive图标，请选择任务栏上的显示隐藏图标(Show hidden icons)箭头。
OneDrive将在您选择的持续时间后自动开始同步。或者，再次重新打开OneDrive菜单并选择恢复同步(Resume Syncing)以使其手动同步。暂停和恢复上传和下载也有助于修复 Microsoft OneDrive 中的同步问题(fix sync issues in Microsoft OneDrive)。
2. 关闭 OneDrive 应用
也可以通过关闭OneDrive来无限期地阻止它同步。为此，请选择Microsoft OneDrive图标并选择帮助和设置(Help & Settings )>关闭 OneDrive(Close OneDrive)。然后，再次选择关闭 OneDrive(Close OneDrive )进行确认。
只要您想再次开始同步，只需搜索OneDrive并通过“开始”菜单打开它。(Start )下次重新启动计算机时，它也会自动启动。
如果您关闭 OneDrive，但还希望它在 PC 重新启动后停止自动启动，只需打开Microsoft OneDrive对话框 -在OneDrive菜单上选择(OneDrive)设置(Settings)- 并清除设置(Settings)选项卡下的登录 Windows 时自动启动 OneDrive(Start OneDrive automatically when I sign into Windows)框。
3.在计量网络上(Metered Networks)暂停 OneDrive(Pause OneDrive)
您还可以通过在Windows 11/10中将 OneDrive设置为计量连接来阻止OneDrive在特定网络上同步。为此，请通过系统托盘打开Wi-Fi /以太网菜单，然后选择(Ethernet)信息(Info )(Windows 11) 或属性(Properties)(Windows 10)。
在随后显示的Wi-Fi/Ethernet计量连接(Metered connection )(Windows 11) 或设置为计量连接(Set as metered connection)( Windows 10 )旁边的开关。这应该会立即暂停您 PC 上的 OneDrive 同步。
如果这不会暂停OneDrive，请打开OneDrive的设置(Settings)对话框并选中此设备在计量网络上时自动暂停同步(Automatically pause sync when this device is on a metered network )选项旁边的框。
4.在省电模式下(Battery Saver Mode)暂停 OneDrive(Pause OneDrive)
您(Are)是否担心OneDrive会影响笔记本电脑的电池寿命？打开省电模式(Battery Saver Mode)将自动暂停所有OneDrive活动。因此，首先在 Windows 11/10 中 打开“设置”应用。(Settings )
然后，转到System > Power & Battery / Battery > Battery saver并选择Battery saver旁边的立即开启(Turn on now )。当电池寿命低于 20% 时，省电模式也会自动启动。(Battery Saver Mode)但是，您可以在菜单中打开自动打开省电模式，(Turn battery saver on automatically at)并将其一直增加到 50%。
如果激活省电模式(Battery Saver Mode)不会暂停OneDrive，请打开OneDrive的设置(Settings)对话框并选中此设备处于省电模式时自动暂停同步(Automatically pause sync when this device is in battery saver mode)旁边的框。
5. 停止同步特定的 OneDrive(OneDrive)文件夹
默认情况下，OneDrive会将您的所有文件和文件夹从Microsoft服务器同步到您的 PC。但是，您可以指定OneDrive来同步您想要的内容。为此，请打开OneDrive 设置(Settings )对话框，切换到帐户(Accounts )选项卡，然后选择选择文件夹(Choose folders )按钮。
在随后显示的“选择文件夹”(Choose folders)弹出窗口中，取消选中您希望 OneDrive 停止同步到您的 PC 的任何文件和文件夹旁边的框。不要(Don)忘记选择确定(OK)以保存您的更改。
6. 管理 OneDrive 备份文件夹
默认情况下， OneDrive(OneDrive)会备份您 PC 上的Photos、Desktop和 Documents 文件夹，但这可能会很快填满您的云存储计划。要管理备份文件夹，请打开OneDrive 设置(Settings )对话框，切换到备份(Backup)选项卡，然后选择管理备份(Manage backup)按钮。
在显示的管理文件夹备份(Manage folder backup)弹出窗口中，取消选中您不希望OneDrive备份到云的任何文件夹。
7.阻止 Office 应用程序(Stop Office Apps)同步到 OneDrive
是否要阻止Microsoft Office应用程序将文件同步到 OneDrive？在 OneDrive 的设置(Settings )对话框中，只需切换到Office选项卡并清除(Office)使用 Office 应用程序同步我打开的文件(Use Office applications to sync files that I open)旁边的框。
8. 停止将照片(Photos)、视频(Videos)和屏幕截图(Screenshots)同步到 OneDrive
OneDrive 可以存储您连接到 PC 的外部设备（例如相机和智能手机）中的照片和视频。它还能够自动上传和保存您的屏幕截图。如果您想停止其中任何操作，请打开Microsoft OneDrive对话框并清除“照片和视频(Photos and videos )”以及“屏幕截图(Screenshots)”部分下的复选框。
9. 在 PC 上禁用 OneDrive
如果您不想再使用 OneDrive 在您的 PC 上同步文件和文件夹，您可以选择取消链接您的 OneDrive 帐户。为此，请打开 OneDrive 的“设置”(Settings)对话框，切换到“帐户(Account)”选项卡，然后选择“取消链接此 PC(Unlink this PC ) ”选项。
然后，选择取消链接帐户(Unlink account)以确认您要取消链接OneDrive。您已在本地同步到 PC 的任何(Any) OneDrive文件仍可通过文件资源管理器(File Explorer)访问。您还可以在OneDrive.com访问已备份到OneDrive的文件。
想(Want)再次使用OneDrive？只需使用您的(Just)Microsoft 帐户(Microsoft Account)凭据登录OneDrive应用程序。
10. 在 PC 上卸载 OneDrive
如果您更喜欢Google Drive 或 Dropbox(Google Drive or Dropbox)等替代云存储服务(alternative cloud-storage service)，并且不打算再次使用OneDrive，您可以选择从 PC 中卸载 OneDrive 应用程序(uninstall the OneDrive app from your PC)。
为此，请使用上述说明从OneDrive取消链接您的(OneDrive)Microsoft 帐户。(Microsoft Account)然后，右键单击开始(Start)按钮并选择应用程序和功能(Apps and Features)。
在显示的应用程序和功能(Apps & features)窗口中，选择Microsoft OneDrive >卸载(Uninstall)。您必须再次选择卸载(Uninstall)以确认。
这应该会提示Windows从您的 PC中删除OneDrive 。如果您以后改变主意，您可以随时从 Microsoft 网站下载并安装 OneDrive，(download and install OneDrive from the Microsoft website)然后从上次中断的地方继续。
10 Ways to Stop OneDrive from Syncing
Do you want to ѕtop OneDrive from syncing on your Windows РC? You’ve got multiple ways to make that happen. For еxample, уou can briеfly pause all ОneDrive activity, stop it from downloading or backing up specific folders, restrict іt to non-metеred networks, and more. You can even go all the way and deactivate or uninstall OneDrive if that’s what you want.
In this tutorial, you’ll learn about various methods that you can use to prevent Microsoft’s popular cloud-storage service from syncing files and folders on PC. They apply to both the Windows 11 and Windows 10 versions of OneDrive.
1. Pause All OneDrive Activity
You can pause OneDrive temporarily—even if it’s actively syncing stuff—whenever you want in Windows 11 and Windows 10. That’s quite useful if you want to free up bandwidth on a slower internet connection.
To pause OneDrive, just select the OneDrive cloud icon near the notification area and select Help & Settings > Pause syncing. Then, pick a duration—2 hours, 8 hours, or 24 hours. If you don’t see the OneDrive icon, select the Show hidden icons arrow on the taskbar.
OneDrive will automatically begin syncing after the duration you select. Or, re-open the OneDrive menu again and choose Resume Syncing to get it to sync manually. Pausing and resuming uploads and downloads can also help fix sync issues in Microsoft OneDrive.
2. Close the OneDrive App
It’s also possible to stop OneDrive from syncing indefinitely by closing it. To do that, select the Microsoft OneDrive icon and select Help & Settings > Close OneDrive. Then, select Close OneDrive again to confirm.
Just search for OneDrive and open it via the Start menu whenever you want to start syncing again. It will also launch automatically the next time you restart your computer.
If you close OneDrive but also want it to stop launching automatically after a PC restart, simply open the Microsoft OneDrive dialog box—select Settings on the OneDrive menu—and clear the Start OneDrive automatically when I sign into Windows box under the Settings tab.
3. Pause OneDrive on Metered Networks
You can also stop OneDrive from syncing on a particular network by setting it up as a metered connection in Windows 11/10. To do that, open the Wi-Fi/Ethernet menu via the system tray and select Info (Windows 11) or Properties (Windows 10).
On the Wi-Fi/Ethernet network’s properties screen that then shows up, turn on the switch next to Metered connection (Windows 11) or Set as metered connection (Windows 10). That should instantly pause OneDrive synchronization on your PC.
If that does not pause OneDrive, open OneDrive’s Settings dialog box and check the box next to Automatically pause sync when this device is on a metered network option.
4. Pause OneDrive in Battery Saver Mode
Are you worried about OneDrive impacting your laptop’s battery life? Turning on Battery Saver Mode will automatically pause all OneDrive activity. So, start by opening the Settings app in Windows 11/10.
Then, go to System > Power & Battery/Battery > Battery saver and select Turn on now next to Battery saver. Battery Saver Mode will also kick in automatically when battery life falls below 20%. However, you can open the Turn battery saver on automatically at menu and increase that all the way to 50%.
If activating Battery Saver Mode does not pause OneDrive, open OneDrive’s Settings dialog box and check the box next to Automatically pause sync when this device is in battery saver mode.
5. Stop Syncing Specific OneDrive Folders
By default, OneDrive syncs all of your files and folders from the Microsoft servers to your PC. However, you can specify OneDrive to sync what you want. To do that, open the OneDrive Settings dialog, switch to the Accounts tab, and select the Choose folders button.
On the Choose folders pop-up window that then shows up, uncheck the boxes next to any files and folders you want OneDrive to stop syncing to your PC. Don’t forget to select OK to save your changes.
6. Manage OneDrive Backup Folders
OneDrive backs up the Photos, Desktop, and Documents folders on your PC by default, but that might quickly fill up your cloud storage plan. To manage your backup folders, open the OneDrive Settings dialog, switch to the Backup tab, and select the Manage backup button.
On the Manage folder backup pop-up that shows up, uncheck any folders you don’t want OneDrive to back up to the cloud.
7. Stop Office Apps From Syncing to OneDrive
Do you want to stop Microsoft Office applications from syncing files to OneDrive? In OneDrive’s Settings dialog, just switch to the Office tab and clear the box next to Use Office applications to sync files that I open.
8. Stop Syncing Photos, Videos, and Screenshots to OneDrive
OneDrive can store photos and videos from external devices—such as cameras and smartphones—that you connect to your PC. It’s also capable of automatically uploading and saving your screenshots. If you want to stop any of that, open the Microsoft OneDrive dialog box and clear the checkboxes under the Photos and videos and Screenshots sections.
9. Disable OneDrive on PC
If you don’t want to use OneDrive to sync files and folders on your PC anymore, you have the option of unlinking your OneDrive account. To do that, open OneDrive’s Settings dialog, switch to the Account tab, and select the Unlink this PC option.
Then, select Unlink account to confirm you want to unlink OneDrive. Any OneDrive files you’ve already synced locally to your PC will remain accessible via File Explorer. You can also access files that you’ve backed up to OneDrive at OneDrive.com.
Want to use OneDrive again? Just sign in to the OneDrive app with your Microsoft Account credentials.
10. Uninstall OneDrive on PC
If you prefer an alternative cloud-storage service such as Google Drive or Dropbox and have no intention of using OneDrive again, you can choose to uninstall the OneDrive app from your PC.
To do that, unlink your Microsoft Account from OneDrive using the above instructions. Then, right-click the Start button and select Apps and Features.
On the Apps & features window that shows up, select Microsoft OneDrive > Uninstall. You must choose Uninstall again to confirm.
That should prompt Windows to remove OneDrive from your PC. If you change your mind later, you can always download and install OneDrive from the Microsoft website and pick up right from where you left off.
