How do I turn off Onedrive notifications on Samsung?


I keep getting notifications from Samsung Cloud to "Move your data to OneDrive". These notifications cannot be permanently swiped away. If you try, you get a bell icon and a gear icon. Tapping the bell icon allows you to delay the next occurrence of the notification for at most 2 hours. Tapping the gear icon takes you to the "App notifications" settings for Samsung Cloud, but there is no option to disable notifications. Only the following options are available:

  • App icon badges (enabled; disabling this does not affect the presence of the recurring notification)

  • General notifications (enabled and the toggle switch is greyed out)

  • Important notifications (enabled and the toggle switch is greyed out)

  • Notify about auto backups (enabled and the toggle switch is greyed out)

I've searched online and found a few other references to this issue, but the solutions they propose refer to menu/GUI options that don't exist on my phone, so I'm thinking the solutions were for older versions of Android and/or a different phone.
