How To Upload Photos From An Iphone To A Windows Devce

The Microsoft OneDrive app for mobile is an extremely effective app for both backing up photos and consolidating photos and videos from all your devices to a unmarried place. Let'southward review how it works and how to gear up it upwards.

It'south rare these days to take photos and videos with annihilation other than a phone or tablet. Withal, as straightforward and convenient every bit this is, backing up photos and making them easy to share is an entirely different thing. That is until I started using Microsoft OneDrive.

Although I wasn't a huge fan in the past, the latest OneDrive client for iOS (iPad/iPhone), Android, and Windows Phone is great. It allows me to consolidate all my photos and videos to a unmarried place where they are:

Backed up
Stored in the same place
Easy to Share

Sounds neat, right? Let'southward review the elementary steps.

Auto Upload Photos and Videos on Android to OneDrive

First, nosotros'll start with Android. Download and install the OneDrive app for Android. When you initially set it up, it will automatically ask y'all if you lot want to back up full-resolution photos and videos to OneDrive. Get ahead and turn it on. By default, they will but upload over Wi-Fi, just you lot can change that if you lot desire to for some reason.

Ane thing to keep in listen when enabling this on Android, your Google+ and Photos apps might already be automatically backing upward photos to Google Bulldoze besides. Be sure to disable this if you lot're going to utilize OneDrive instead.

Auto Upload Photos and Videos on iOS Devices (iPhone/iPad) to OneDrive

Moving along to iOS, you need to download the OneDrive app, which works on both the iPhone and iPad. We've written up detailed instructions for the iPhone and iPad; however, in summary, the showtime time you launch it on your iOS device (iPad in the shot below), information technology gives you the option to save all of your pictures to OneDrive automatically. Past default, information technology volition only upload your photos and video when you connect to Wi-Fi. It'due south probably best to go out it that way, so you don't get overage charges on your data plan.

Note: The iOS OneDrive app allows an actress 3 GB of storage besides. However, it looks like this pull a fast one on only worked after I added information technology to Android.

If you already have OneDrive App Installed and want to save your photos to OneDrive, launch it and tap Me > Settings > Options > Camera Uploadand plough it on.

The Photographic camera Upload characteristic on iPhone and iPad has several features, including:

Employ Mobile Network?
Include Videos?
Upload in Groundwork

Photos and Videos are not minor these days, so I highly recommend you but enable those photos if you take an unlimited data plan. The terminal thing you demand is a hefty overage fee on your information plan. Or even worse, if the upload takes place while roaming out of the country and get roaming charges.

One thing I love about uploading your Mobile device photos to OneDrive is they volition all be centralized and viewable (and shareable) on the OneDrive website. Microsoft has been doing a fantastic job of updating the site to make information technology easy to view all your latest photos and even car-tag your photos and create albums for you.

Storing Photos to OneDrive On Windows Phone

If you lot're a Windows Phone 8.one owner, you'll exist asked to back up photos (and other phone data) to OneDrive during the initial setup. To ensure everything is being backed upward to OneDrive, and the quality of your backed upwardly photos, go to Settings > Backup > photos + videos. In that location you accept a few options on what you desire the quality to be. I ever alter mine to All-time quality for both; Windows Phone volition upload them merely when you connect to Wi-Fi because the file sizes volition exist larger.

Terminal Thoughts

The benefit of using OneDrive on your smartphone(due south) and tablet(southward) versus iCloud or Google Drive is you lot tin can view and organize your photos from more than locations and devices. As I mentioned earlier, you can hands see and share photos online.
