CMD option to exit OneDrive
I am running OneDrive sync by creating scheduled tasks in Windows Task Scheduler. I have two tasks, one to start OneDrive's desktop app and the other kills it.
I am currently using taskkill
to get the job done and I am not proud of it. I am looking to see if there is a graceful way to exit/close/stop OneDrive from syncing.
Does anyone know of such a thing?
OneDrive.exe /shutdown
is what you seek. Or more formally:
Windows Vista, 7, and 10:
cd /d %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\OneDrive
OneDrive.exe /shutdown
Windows 8.1:
cd /d %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\OneDrive
OneDrive.exe /shutdown
NOTE: To restart OneDrive from a batch file, you will need to use the "start" command. Running the .exe directly will leave the batch file open "forever".
