Re: New Windows 11 Laptop Installation
How do I get the option NOT to use onedrive in Windows 11? I want dropbox back as an easy place to access my files. I am not interested in using OneDrive. I have turned off file sharing - but cannot get to my dropbox account easily.

Hey barkworth, let's jump right into this!
Can you let me know what you mean when you say that you want Dropbox as an easy place to access your files, and how OneDrive gets in the way at the moment?
Have you searched the web for ways that you can disable OneDrive on your Windows device?
Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!
I think I have done something to fix it, but I am not sure what. Some of the problem may have been simply that Windows 11 displays things differently from Windows 10, and so what i used to know how to do no longer worked. I did read and try some of the things suggested online. POssibly, it took longer for the changes to become effective than I expected. I do not know. At least now I can find my files easily. Thank you for getting back to me.
