If you want to stop syncing OneDrive on your computer because you are on a metered or slow internet connection, you can Pause and Resume your sync.
Pausing and Resuming can also help if OneDrive status displays "Processing changes" for a long time.
To Pause syncing
-
Select the white or blue OneDrive cloud icon in the notification/menu area.
-
Right-click (or CTRL-click in Mac) the OneDrive icon on the taskbar and select Pause syncing > 2 / 8 / 24hours.
-
Choose how long you wish to pause for: 2, 8, or 24 hours and check that the white or blue OneDrive cloud icons in the notification area shows Paused.
Notes:
-
If you have both OneDrive and OneDrive for Business, you can pause and resume them independently.
-
OneDrive will automatically pause when a Windows PC enters battery saver mode.
-

Syncing will resume automatically after the Pause time has finished, or you can manually Resume syncing at any time.
