Cannot enable OneDrive 'Camera Upload'

I find the "Media Sync" keeps turning off. If I turn it on it will sync everything and then it turns off again when it is done, which us super frustrating. 

When you say you turned off photos via the Samsung account. Do you mean you unlinked the account from one drive or that you turned off the option in the camera settings.

It seems that I took overly-drastic measures by closing the Samsung account completely. 

However, I had disconnected first the Samsung account from Microsoft , I did not think of doing the reverse. 

Anyway, it's good that people know they have this option: unlinking both accounts from each other (Samsung from Microsoft and Microsoft from Samsung).

Not sure if any of the replies to this cover this. I have had the same.issue and just solved it by doing the following.

Go into Settings.

Accounts and Backup

Accounts

Select the Samsung Account - blue square with rounded.off corners with a circle innit within which there.is a stylised image of a person

Select Apps and Services

Connected Services

If it shows Microsoft account, press the 'Unlink' button.

This worked for me.

Hope it works for you too.

Thanks to who started this discussion because topic is really frustrating and after connecting OneDrive with Samsung Account, the Camera sync stopped working for me as well.

But it's a story with lucky ending 🙂

Here are steps what worked for me:

1. Go and log in here: https://account.samsung.com/membership/contents/services/services-gate
2. At the bottom you will see "Connected Services". One of those will be "Microsoft Account" - go click on it and choose "Unlink"
3. Done
4. Go to One Drive settings in phone app to re-enable the "Camera upload"

From their website. 

I had created the account when I set up my smartphone. With the same credentials I logged in the online Samsung account through my laptop and deleted it from account settings or so.
