a) Press (Windows key) + R to open the Run box.
b) Type gpedit.msc and click OK.
c) In the Local Group Policy Editor, in the folder list under Local Computer Policy, navigate to Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > OneDrive > Prevent the usage of OneDrive for file storage.
