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!

Camera Upload will only be available if no other app or service is handling the storage of photos on Onedrive, because Onedrive restricts upload to one service per device. When all services/apps not doing the upload to Onedrive are cancelled (turned off, removed, or on the Windows page for your device, permissions revoked etc.) then the Upload option will reappear. If it is missing something else is handling the uploads.
