The wee icon on the right of the toolbar. Right click and try settings as you can stop the syinc by unlinking it.

I have messed with that before, syncing over metered connections was already disabled. I have now disabled everything possible in settings so it should effectively be switched off but still when i unclick the 'pause syncing' link it starts again!

I want to be shut of the damned thing but cannot uninstall it, when I bought this HP laptop last year it was installed with HP's in house cloud system, Evernote I think, and this was set to sync by default. Luckily I was on an unmetered connection at the time and as soon as I realised what was happening I stopped it and then uninstalled.

I have no need or interest in cloud systems, if I need to back things up I make my own arrangements using hard drives or usb memory sticks.

Why do Microsoft and hardware manufacturers assume that everyone has unlimited internet and set these things as default?

In setting and accounts you can turn it off. I take it you tried that also but yeah you are right. Its bloody annoying. I also dont want to use my msn account but felt i needed to as it seemed i needed Microsoft credentials to get windows 10 to work. I see why more and more people are switching to Linux now.

In settings tell it you are on a metered connection. That stops automatic downloads.

Thanks for that, I have just tracked that down and it was already switched off so as having syncing paused seems to be stopping the uploading I will leave things as they are now. ie everything possible switched off!
