The camera roll on your device only uploads to Microsoft 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.

-
In the OneDrive app, tap the Me icon
at the bottom of the app. -
Tap Settings
then Camera upload.Important:
-
If the Camera upload toggle is greyed out, that means you need to select an account to upload to first, under Camera upload account.
-
Camera Upload can only be used on one account at a time. If you are also a OneDrive for work or school user, select the appropriate Camera upload account.
-
-
Set Camera upload to On.

To make sure videos automatically upload, turn on Include videos.

The OneDrive cloud icon may briefly appear in your Android notifications as part of the normal upload process.
