Cannot enable OneDrive 'Camera Upload'

Anonymous

Hello,

I want to free up space on my Samsung Galaxy Note 10+.

When I try to enable 'Free up space on the device' in the OneDrive app, I get the message:

'Camera upload must be enabled ...'

The problem is that there is no camera upload setting anymore.

Or am I missing something here ...?

I use the latest version of Android and version 6.1.1 of OneDrive.

Thanks!

The same with me. It appears that Microsoft and Samsung reached an app development where we are now forced to use a dead item (Samsung Cloud) in order to upload our photos to Onedrive. This means that Samsung will now have a peep at our photos before we upload them to Onedrive. Before we would do that directly via camera upload which is now gone. That is another corporate underhand where users were totally overlooked. Moreover you cannot uninstall onedrive anymore from your Samsung, you cannot even logout. Shocking!

Who was the "brilliant" mind behind this?
