Guide:WP8.1 Preview - Uploading to OneDrive with Autoupload turned off

[CG-88]

Hi Everyone,

I have noticed a lot of people on different forums have been asking how to upload photos to OneDrive with the Autoupload feature turned off. Well below is a guide on how to do this easily :) And this process works for any type of file you have on the phone, but my guide uses photos :)

So first step - Create a Room. I called mine OneDrive but you can call yours whatever you want.

People - Rooms - Tap the plus sign at the bottom of the screen



Next, go to OneDrive either on your computer, phone browser or via the OneDrive app and you will see a new folder has been created with the name of the room, shown below:

 

 

 

 

 

Next, go to your photo hub and select a photo you want to upload. The process for this is as normal so:

 

Select photo

Tap Share

You will now see an option that says Upload to <name of your room>(mine is called OneDrive so it actually looks the same as before preview)

The next screen as shown below, just select the option at the bottom for upload and it will go to the room and overall OneDrive :)

Next, all you need to do is go into OneDrive and Into your rooms folder and you will see your recently uploaded photo/file :D

Hope that helps everyone
Regards

Can't you just click upload to one drive on the picture ?

Sorry! They should be fixed now

Unfortunately not. That picture shows Upload to the name of my room which I called Onedrive.

 

If you don't create the room, and then go to photos and try to upload you wont see an option for upload to onedrive

its annoying when they take a feature you use. before you could easily upload multiple selective images manually now you need to open onedrive then upload images one by one

I agree! This process shouldn't be needed at all!

You can upload as many photos as you want following the above though :)
