    Disable auto-upload of photos to OneDrive


    I would like to use One Drive ONLY WHEN I WANT TO!!!!!!

    I would like to store important files there, and NOT automatically upload the millions of photos I have on this new PC.

    The fixes provided by the MS online help have caused me to sit with a FULL one drive, and 100% of the photos I load on this NEW PC now do not even show thumbnail views of any kind, they just show up a blanks with the number/file name.

    If I delete files on one drive, they are then deleted from this PC, I find no way to separate them.

    It has become such a hinderance that I can not even use this NEW PC.


    How do I keep one drive and use it only when I want to place a file there.

    How do I get the photo icons to show up in the folders, they are there, but do not show the preview in any of the large, small file view formats.


    AND, Please bring back the filmstrip viewer too, as it was always way superior way to view and use photos on a PC, I still keep one very old PC in my office to use this filmstrip photo viewer.


    Note this has nothing to do with the Office products, it just the only topic choice allowed by this lame automated system.

    It would relate to Office when I want to store a file there, but this one drive problem with photos auto/storage settings have made it impossible to use this PC.


    Moved from: Office / OneDrive with Office / Windows 10 / Office 365 Home


    ***Title modified from: why is one drive so impossible to isolate***

    Auto upload photos to OneDrive for Business

    As far as I know, at this time, when you select 'Auto upload photos to OneDrive', it automagically uploads to the OneDrive associated with the Microsoft account used when the phone was initiated.

    I'm not aware of any way to select 'another' Microsoft account for OneDrive uploads.

    Disable auto-upload of photos to OneDrive

    Windows Phone 8 missing automatic upload of photos to OneDrive (SkyDrive)

    A few things. The auto upload works by looking at the last photo that was auto uploaded. That means, there is now way you can auto upload these photos.

    You can upload them manually in a couple of ways.

    • Open OneDrive app and start uploading the files one by one.
    • Connect the phone to a PC. Then move the missing pictures manually through the OneDrive folder or through onedrive.live.com.
