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 had the same problem.  You must delete Samsung Gallery in your Microsoft account, AND you must also go into your Samsung account and delete the Microsoft OneDrive link.

    My issue is OneDrive won't let me camera upload to my personal account. When i select camera upload, it only gives me my work account as an upload option. I've tried removing my accounts and readding only the personal account, but then i can't click camera upload at all.

    Samsung S9 on Verizon (which, because Verizon, doesn't have the feature in Gallery to upload to OneDrive from there)

    Try the following steps I just did a few mins ago and It worked.

    • Turn the camera upload off
    • Remove all permissions
    • Turn the camera upload back on
