|

|
| Step 5: Check the folders you would like to sync to this computer |
|
If you would prefer to not set up OneDrive, you can configure it to not start up every time you log in. Follow these steps for that option:
| Step 1: Click the taskbar up arrow, then right click the OneDrive cloud icon and choose Settings |
|
| Step 2: In the Settings tab, uncheck "Start OneDrive automatically when I sign into Windows" and click OK |
