    How to Enable or Disable the New OneDrive Flyout Notification in Windows 10

    information   Information
    OneDrive is free online storage at OneDrive.com that comes with your Microsoft account. It’s like an extra hard drive that’s available from any of the devices you use.

    In Windows 10 build 14986, OneDrive version 17.3.6720.1207 and newer comes with a new more modern flyout notification with itemized file sync information. The new OneDrive flyout is currently not enabled for some users by default since it's still being tested.

    This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable the new OneDrive flyout notification for your account in Windows 10.

    Merry Christmas, Shawn, and thank you for this present! Personally, I find the new more modern flyout notification mildly obnoxious. Takes a lot of real estate, too.

    Merry Christmas Dick. :)

    I like the way the new flyout itemizes each file it's syncing, but yeah I do wish it could be smaller with a scroll bar for the itemized files.
