- Silent install switches for exe. Disable camera upload in OneDrive app settings (you can find the steps in the guides on how to use OneDrive on iOS, OneDrive for Android, or Use OneDrive on Windows Phone).
- Go to the OneDrive website and rename your Camera Roll folder. (Try using search to find it.)
- Enable camera upload.This starts a re-upload of all camera roll pictures from your mobile device into the cloud. Please make sure that the connection is strong before completing these steps.Tip: OneDrive cannot upload photos optimized for iCloud. To disable optimization, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos and uncheck Optimize Storage.
OneDrive can't upload this file
You might get this message for one of these reasons:
- There was a problem with OneDrive. Try to upload the file again.
- The connection to OneDrive was lost during the file transfer, or you weren't signed in to OneDrive. Sign in to OneDrive with your Microsoft account, and then try to upload the file again.
- You don't have permission to access the file. If the file is on a server, make sure you can open the file, and then try to upload it again. For more info about getting permission to access the file, contact your network administrator.
- You don't have permission to upload the file to the folder that you selected. Select a folder that you have permission to edit, and then try to upload the file again.
A file with this name already exists
Click Replace to replace the existing file, or Keep both to rename the file you're uploading.
This file can't be replaced because it's open
Close the file you are trying to replace. In some cases, it may be faster to save or download the file with a new file name, delete the original file, and rename the new file to the original file name.

Sorry, OneDrive can't upload folders or empty files
Upload Files Fast Download
To upload files to a new folder in OneDrive, first create the folder, and then upload the files to it. Files that are 0 bytes in size can't be uploaded from the OneDrive website.
This file is too big
If you use Internet Explorer 10 or a recent version of other popular web browsers, you can upload files to OneDrive that are up to 15GB in size. (If you sign in with a work or school account, the maximum file size is 15GB.) If you use an older web browser, you can't upload files larger than 300 MB.
- You can upload files up to 15GB in size if you use Windows 10 or Windows 8.1, or install the free OneDrive sync app. (If you sign in with a work or school account, the maximum file size is 15GB.)
- For transferring large files or lots of files, we recommend adding the files to the OneDrive desktop app rather than the using Upload button on the website.
