Turn off OneDrive backgroud service

Hi, 

I want to disable OneDrive from the background service, but I don’t know how to do it.

Currently, it is enabled, and I want to disable it. On Microsoft’s website, they explain how to enable it, but not the opposite. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/deploy-and-configure-on-macos#background-services

Would you know how to do it?

@Stephix Is uninstalling OneDrive an option? Having OneDrive installed but the service not running seems kind of pointless.

I don't think you can turn them off. It's either force enable, or leave it to the user.

Good idea BGhilardi.
