While the Upload Center can be a useful feature, it’s been criticized for being intrusive and annoying. If it bothers you, remove this feature from your taskbar temporarily or permanently by changing the settings in the Office Upload Center.
How the Upload Center Works
The Office Upload Center allows you to monitor document uploads and downloads during synchronization with your OneDrive account or another online server. It lets you know if the uploads were successful, failed, or uninterrupted. One of its benefits is allowing you to create backups for your documents easily and securely. When you save a document, it saves on your computer, and then, when you connect to the internet, the files automatically back up to your OneDrive account. If you upload and download a lot of documents to a company server, the Microsoft Upload Center is a useful tool. However, if you work occasionally with files in Office and don’t use OneDrive, you may prefer to remove it.
