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!

    I have done all of these steps, multiple times, and my "Camera Upload" option WILL NOT re-appear.

    This is on a new S20 Note Ultra

    Thank you for your help!

    I was able to turn off the Samsung in the "Manage My Apps" section of my Windows account.

    The OneDrive Camera Upload option returned!

    I thought all was well. BUT ... my photos have still not uploaded/synced to my camera roll. To clarify, a few photos from today synced, but those that haven't synced since July are still not appearing in my camera roll.

    What do I need to do now? 

    Current Settings: Camera Upload (on) > Using WiFi (which I am on right now). 

    I don't have it set to upload only when charging. I have a full battery.

    I really want to have my camera roll automatically update like it used to. I realize I took that for granted.

    They will only sync if they are shown in the "Camera" folder on your phone. If you remove them from that "Camera" folder they cannot sync with the "Camera Roll" folder on your computer.

    However, if you choose to use Samsung Gallery (which I have now decided to do) you then get a copy of all your photos that are on your phone onto your computer in the Samsung Gallery folder under "Pictures" on your Windows 10 computer.
