If automatic camera upload isn’t working, or only some pictures are uploaded, follow these steps:

  • Connect your charger. iOS won't let OneDrive backup your photos if the battery is less than 20%.

  • Ensure your device is not in Low Power Mode. 

  • Enable/disable Background App Refresh in the iOS settings: Settings > Scroll down to our app > toggle on/off Background App Refresh.

  • If your camera upload is taking too long to set up or look for photos, without giving any error message, it could be because you have too many photos in your camera roll.

  • OneDrive cannot upload photos optimized for iCloud. To disable optimization, tap Settings > Photos and toggle off iCloud Photos.
