Photos won’t sync! What’s the point of installing and paying for OneDrive? – Microsoft OneDrive Review
Unless you’re a fan of uploading one photo at a time MANUALLY, I suggest staying away from OneDrive. Even as a premium subscriber, the app didn’t sync any photos as it’s supposed to do.
I subscribed to OneDrive’s premium service, hoping that I could seamlessly sync files between my devices, including photos from iOS devices. I followed every step instructed , in including enabling camera upload. After waiting patiently for a few hours, photos simply won’t be uploaded automatically to OneDrive!
I tried researching online to troubleshoot , but none of those blog post’s suggestions worked. I tried clearing cache, adjust photos setting ... been a few hours but still, NOT a single photo was backed up.
So I did a bit of research - as it turns out many other users experienced the same problems ! I wish I read those reviews earlier, which would have saved me hours. I wish I could have full refund. The money could have been spent on a better cloud storage solution!
After failing to get the app to sync photos to OneDrive , I was thinking to upload by folders or by selecting multiple photos. To my surprise, this app wouldn’t even allow multiple photos upload — one can’t even select photos on the camera roll/album and perform batch upload to OneDrive !! What a shame! Even an amateur app could enable multiple file upload to a server!
Been a nightmare and the biggest regret — the so called premium service doesn’t provide any services but a broken app.
Microsoft will stay irrelevant by releasing such unreliable product. I can see its cloud services losing market shares soon.
