  • When the Registry Editor opens, navigate to the following key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\SignIn.
  • If the SignIn key doesn’t exist, create it by right-clicking on Common à New à Key à SignIn.
  • In the right pane of the SignIn key, create a new DWORD value named SignInOptions.
  • Double-click on SignInOptions and change its value to 3. To restore SkyDrive functionality, simply set the SignInOptions value to 0.

• Disabling SkyDrive by using the Group Policy Editor
  • To use this method, you need to install the Office 2013 Administrative Templates. If you don’t have these templates, download them from the Microsoft Downloads Web site and install them.
  • Once the Administrative Templates are installed, open the Run dialog box and enter gpedit.msc to open the Local Group Policy Editor.
  • Now that you’re in the Local Group Policy Editor, navigate down the tree to User Configuration à Administrative Templates à Microsoft Office 2013 à Miscellaneous.
  • Find the “Block signing into Office” option in the list of settings and double-click it.
  • In the Properties window, click “Enable” and select the option “None Allowed.”
