Original Win8.1 update How to disable the OneDrive Sync service

However, due to the special network environment in the country, the Microsoft OneDrive (original SkyDrive) cloud service network experience is very poor, many Win8.1 users want to disable this synchronization function, how to disable it?

At this point, we can disable the OneDrive Sync service by two ways, from OneDrive System Setup to Group Policy.

First, use your Microsoft account to log in to your current Win8.1 or Win8.1 update system platform.

At this point, Microsoft OneDrive has started automatically generating OneDrive folders locally to sync cloud data.

Then we open the System option under the OneDrive app (just point the mouse to the lower-right corner of the screen, bring up the Charm Super menu), and turn off the onedrive sync file feature.
