    I cannot find the option for jpg and heic files.
    Is that option removed that I must upload heic file format?

    I tried to open the files with OneDrive on computer and I need to install a plug in for $1USD. Is that needed?

    After uploading to OneDrive, the photos are still in my iphone. Can it be set auto deleted once uploaded?

    I used to use Google photo and it has a great search function. I can type cat and showed all the cat photo. Is there similar function in OneDrive?

    Thanks.

    When I switch the iphone setting to 1:1 instead of 4:3 for the picture, and upload with Onedrive it uploads two picture one with it turned 90 degrees and it says IMG_E1234 and the other is IMG_1234. I do not want two versions of the picture uploading. Thanks

    i am a new MS 365 user; with all the limitation and restrictions coming to Google Photos, I am giving the 5TB in my 365 account a try! I have about 230GB of photos/videos in my iCloud; i am using my iPad Pro 2020 to upload my iCloud photos to OneDrive; the app is opened, never closing, the iPad is connected to power, less than 15ft away from my Modem/Router, and it is taking FOREVERRRRRRR… it’s been about 12 hrs since the upload has been running, and it seems it has only uploaded about 1,000 photos/videos; my upload speed is about 40Mbps, but it doesn’t seem like OneDrive is using all those resources. this is painfully slow! will consider sticking with Google then…

    I was so excited to see this. BUT the directions do not correspond to my IPhone 12 once I get to the Camera Upload screen, so the instructions were meainingless. So disappointed.

      Hi Barbara. We will try to update this guide sometime in the near future, so that it matches with the latest experience.

    I like the article, but unfortunately I don’t have all the same options in mobile OneDrive, like turning HEICs to JPGs. Also, the photos shown aren’t the latest, culled version I have on my phone. Thanks in advance for your help.

      I’m using an iPhone 7, if that makes a difference.

    I’m using version 11 of the app and can’t find the “upload in background” option
