My IPhone has limited storage so I would like to backup my images automatically in OneDrive and then delete the files from my Iphone.

I have installed onedrive on my iphone and started automated camera images backup.

So far so good.

BUT I don't want the files then deleted on OneDrive too.

Right now, if I delete an image on my iphone, it then gets deleted from OneDrive too...

Any idea?

Thanks

    Actually, that's what I tried and I tested deleting a picture as well as a folder.

    In both cases, they were deleted within a couple of minutes from my Ondrive... :-(

    Hi EricMamet,

    Thank you for reaching out to us. I am Blessing, an independent advisor here and a Microsoft user like you.

    I understand your inquiry. You can automatically upload your iPhone camera roll to OneDrive and the camera roll on your device only uploads to OneDrive - it does not sync photos both ways. That means you can delete uploaded photos and videos from your device, and the copies in OneDrive won't be affected.

    Kindly follow thale steps below for guidance:

    1. In the OneDrive app, tap your account image: Tap Settings, then Camera Upload
    2. Turn on Camera Upload to automatically upload photos and videos to OneDrive.
    3. To make sure videos automatically upload, turn on Include Videos.

    Hope this helps!
