1. iPhone → OneDrive

The standard route — camera upload in Microsoft's own OneDrive app — works too:

1. Install Microsoft OneDrive from the App Store and sign in.
2. Open your profile Me, then Settings → Camera upload.
3. Turn camera upload on for the Microsoft account where you want photos stored.
4. Optional: enable Include videos, Wi‑Fi only, or bedtime-style uploads when offered.
5. Leave OneDrive allowed in Background App Refresh (Settings → OneDrive) so uploads continue when the app is not open.
6. If you use Optimize iPhone Storage for iCloud Photos, uploads may wait until full‑size files are available — check Apple Photos settings if uploads stall.

2. iCloud → OneDrive

1. On a computer: sign in at icloud.com/photos, select albums or photos, then download (often a ZIP).
2. Unzip if needed, then open OneDrive on the web and upload or drag folders into your library.
3. Windows: with iCloud for Windows, photos can appear under File Explorer — copy into your synced OneDrive folder.
4. Mac: export from Photos (File → Export) into a folder, then move that folder into OneDrive via Finder or the OneDrive app.
5. Very large libraries: plan batches by year or album so downloads complete reliably; verify dates/metadata if that matters for your workflow.

3. Android phones → OneDrive

1. Install Microsoft OneDrive from Google Play and sign in.
2. Tap Me (profile) → Settings → Camera backup (wording may vary slightly by version).
3. Turn camera backup on and confirm folder access when Android prompts.
4. Optional: include videos, extra folders (screenshots, etc.), Wi‑Fi‑only, or backup while charging.
5. Stay signed in and avoid force‑stopping OneDrive if uploads pause unexpectedly.
6. Samsung Galaxy: you may also see Gallery → Settings → Sync with OneDrive (labels vary). That complements the OneDrive app; you don't need a separate guide if camera backup above is working.
