If OneDrive camera upload isn’t working

If automatic camera upload isn’t working, open the OneDrive app. Uploads will only happen if the app is running, so swiping the app up to close it will prevent automatic uploads.

If it still isn't working or only some pictures are uploaded, follow these steps:

1. In the OneDrive app, tap the Me  then Settings then Camera upload.

2. Check that Camera upload toggle is switched on .

3. Check the Camera upload account is the correct account.

4. If you're not connected to Wi-Fi, check Upload using is set to include mobile network.

5. Check that the Upload only when charging checkbox isn't selected.

6. If your videos are not showing in your camera roll, check that Include videos is set on.

7. On This Day albums will only show if you have taken 10 or more photos on that day.

8. 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, or that you are out of storage space. Read What does it mean when your OneDrive account is frozen?

9. If Samsung Gallery upload isn’t working, read about Samsung Gallery and OneDrive.
