[QUOTE="pine man, post: 1727534, member: 329282"] '[I]I use OneDrive over iCloud because I use the iOS version of Word in my work and it's actually more convenient than iCloud[/I]' I have used OneDrive in the past because my old iPhone couldn't use iCloud Drive. Now I have a later version I can and it seems fine with Word and Excel files. I have removed the OneDrive apps from my iPad and iPhone. On my Windows 10 PC I have disabled OneDrive (it cannot be removed) and prevented it from connecting with the internet and on my Mac all traces have been removed. This leads me to suspect that it is still appearing on the Word and Excel apps by default. Maybe there is someone out there who is using the Excel or Word apps on either an iPhone or iPad that isn't using OneDrive and can tell me if OneDrive still appears as a place to access files. Update - I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner. I removed all Microsoft Apps from my iPhone and all the Microsoft files. I then reinstalled the Microsoft apps and lo and behold there was OneDrive at the top of the list of 'Places' to access files. Suggests that it is a default list of places and seemingly not able to be changed. Thanks to the inputs guys I'll call it a day. [/QUOTE]
