    Not used it for business, but it's part of Win 10 so can't be uninstalled. There's a regedit fix that supposed to work, but I found the easiest way was to disable the start-up script.

      It does not even work between my desktop and laptop. Continually complains about file names being to long and then when you clear the folders it wont work until you clear the archive.

      I have another person in the company, had to get him to remove the library, link the library they sync the library numerous times.

          It works for me, cheap storage and I can use it as a second backup for recent photos I'm working on

          Even with my limited internet connection out in the country, I've had no issues yet, but then I've only been using it since last summer

            Its utter crap I find. It's based on Groove which MS bought and is utter tulipe. I use also the 'regular' OneDrive which works brill because it's not based on Groove. I also find the Office365 Sharepoint connectivity is also pretty spotty and I've given up on it after having to refresh the local copy three times.

            MS have announced that they are going to switch OneDrive for Business to the code for OneDrive anytime soon.

              You don't need to uninstall it, you can just not use it.

                Not so for me, everytime I open file explorer, it prompts to log into OneDrive 3 times. It's stopped asking now it's not on startup, so I'm happy with that.

                  It never did that for me.

                  And this would be the beta version of W10 - have you logged the issue?

                    Aye, been using sharepoint and that has the occasional flake out.

                    I just don't understand how they can produce what I would say was the worst piece of software I have used in years, especially in such a core product.

                    I'm sure I read once that dropbox was really just built on CSV, it's not that hard a program to get right as well.

                    I would use dropbox but I'm not paying 11 quid month, 'cos i'm tight.
