If some users are licensed to use OneDrive, but you don’t want them to create a OneDrive (perhaps for regulatory reasons), you can prevent them from doing so. Note that if a user already created a OneDrive, changing the following setting won’t delete it.
- Sign in to Office 365 as a global admin or SharePoint admin.
-
Select the app launcher icon
in the upper-left and choose Admin to open the Office 365 admin center. (If you don’t see the Admin tile, you don’t have Office 365 administrator permissions in your organization.)
- In the left pane, choose Admin centers > SharePoint.
- Click user profiles in the left pane.
- Under People, click Manage User Permissions.
- By default, everyone except external users are allowed to create a OneDrive. Remove that group and add specific groups to allow only a subset of licensed users to create a OneDrive.
- Click OK.
