Apologies in advance for my ignorance here.

I recently bought this laptop, which came with a 1TB hard drive.

It also comes with OneDrive cloud storage.

I recently saved lots of photos to the laptop, but I have recently had messages saying my OneDrive is full & trying to get me to buy more storage.

Basically I want to store all my photos, music, videos etc on the 1TB hard drive - after all that was the whole point of buying a laptop with this amount of onboard storage.

When I look at the storage options, I can see the 900+ GB storage still left - but this storage seems to relate to Windows.

Can I just move all my normal pictures & music folders under this storage option?

Is the laptop set up this way in a cynical attempt to get people to sign up for more OneDrive storage?

Please can anyone help/advise?  Many thanks in advance.

Yes it is one of Microsoft's "Cynical attempts to get people to sign up for Microsoft OneDrive"

 

It is an app add by MS at install.

 

Turn off, disable, or uninstall OneDrive
