How to automatically upload all picture folders for Onedrive Camera Upload?

There is no way to automatically upload pictures from all folders to OneDrive.

You can manually upload a folder but later there may be some pictures you move to the folder that are not uploaded.

Easiest way to manually upload a folder is with the 'file explorer' app.

File explorer, SD card, (if that is where your pictures are), pictures, tap the folder you want, ellipsis ..., select all, share, OneDrive

 

How do I control the windows files security that OneDrive puts on files uploaded from an android device

Hi JohnJCAT

Thanks for getting back.

To further assist you, I suggest that you try these steps here.

1. Check if the you can open the file online on OneDrive.com?

2. To control the Windows file security that OneDrive puts on files uploaded from an Android device, you can follow these steps:

1. Right-click on the "Pictures" folder and select "Properties".
   
2. Click on the "Security" tab.
   
3. Click on the "Advanced" button.
   
4. Check the box that says "Replace all child object permission entries with inheritable permission entries from this object".
   
5. Click "OK" to apply the changes.
   

This should ensure that the security on the files uploaded from your Android device to OneDrive will inherit the security from the "Pictures" folder on your Windows device.

Sincerely,

How to automatically upload all picture folders for Onedrive Camera Upload?

Is there a setting or way for OneDrive Camera Upload to upload pictures from all folders under "Pictures" and copy that folder structure on OneDrive? Currently it only seems to upload pictures from Camera Roll and Screenshots.
