One drive

Go to solution Solved by Sawa Takahashi,

Your account has been entered on your Dad's computer and your Dad's computer is probably listed as one of your devices now.

I thin the best way to remedy to the situation is to backup all the files your Dad wants to keep from the Onedrive. Then uninstall Onedrive from both your computers. You can also remove Onedrive from the startup programs to make sure it doesn't return at every boot. Then you log in your Onedrive via the browser and remove all devices from the approved list. This should do the trick.

Good luck !

I have a technical issue to discuss. On my laptop, I've disabled network transfer. I use my own email account on my laptop. However, on my dad's PC, he has files saved to his OneDrive. Strangely, his OneDrive files are appearing on my laptop, even though I'm signed into my own OneDrive account, and network transfer is turned off.

When I check the "Devices" tab on https://account.microsoft.com/, I can see both my laptop (with its name and model) and my Xbox under my account. But here's the problem: when I go on my dad's PC, I also see my laptop listed under the devices tab on his account. If I remove my account from his PC, it automatically gets added back.

Could you please help me figure out how to prevent my account from being re-added to his PC and stop his files from syncing onto my account?
