requires little effort to use. If I knew of an easier way I would tell you. Its not the most reliable way, for that you need to have full control of the backups. It should be easy to turn it off. Just sign out using the OneDrive icon in system tray/taskbar area. Right click it choose settings, on account tab choose unlink this PC. You can also disable it from starting up with windows under settings-apps-startup.
