Back up photos to OneDrive

Photo Transfer App PRO can upload photos and videos directly from your phone to your OneDrive account. Transfers go straight to OneDrive over the internet — no Photo Transfer server in between, no copy of your files on our end.

Before you begin

  • A Microsoft account with OneDrive.
  • Photo Transfer App PRO on your phone (see What's included in PRO).
  • Your phone connected to the internet.

Step-by-step

  1. Open Photo Transfer App on your phone.
  2. Tap Send -> Cloud.
  3. From the destination chooser, pick OneDrive.
  4. Select the photos and videos you want to back up.
  5. Tap Send now.
  6. If this is your first time, you'll be sent to Microsoft's sign-in page in your phone's browser to authorize Photo Transfer App. Sign in and tap Accept. You're then returned to the app.
  7. Select the destination folder in your OneDrive account.
  8. Tap Upload now. Files upload directly to your OneDrive account.

What's preserved

  • Full original resolution.
  • EXIF metadata, GPS, capture date.
  • HEIC stays as HEIC; ProRAW / DNG stay as RAW.
