In Windows 10, OneDrive provides cloud storage ability. You can easily save your files to OneDrive and access them from anywhere you want. The major benefit of cloud storage is that, if your system goes down due to anonymous reason, you can still access your documents. When you set up OneDrive on your system, it will automatically sync your files to cloud. However, if you are on metered connection or in battery saver mode, the sync will be automatically paused. When this happens, you will receive a notification for this. In this article, we will see how to turn off OneDrive sync is paused notifications.
So as you can see in the screenshot above, when my system is moved to battery saver mode due to low battery, OneDrive sync was also paused. And then I received a notification about this. If you are using OneDrive for a long time, you will be already aware of when sync will be auto-paused. In that case, you might not want to receive the sync auto-paused notification.
Here is how you can turn off this notification.
