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!

    It is completely insane that the upload function can stop like that, without users being aware of it. My camera upload appears to be turned off spontaneously for months. Unacceptable, Microsoft!

    I am a family 365 subscriber.

    Here is what I tried that did not work:

    I cleared cache. 

    I signed out and back in. 

    I cleared storage. 

    I logged into onedrive.live.com and moved all my photos in the Camera Roll to another folder, in the case that duplicate names was the problem.

    I uninstalled the OneDrive app and reinstalled.

    I restarted my Router and Access Points

    The only solution I found was to UNINSTALL WORD, ONENOTE, ONEDRIVE, OFFICE LENS, MATH and restart the phone and reinstall those apps. For some reason, it then worked fine.
