OneDrive / Android automated camera roll back up without sync
Hello I am unsure if this is a Microsoft or Android issue so apologies if this isn't the place.
I wish to have my Android (s21) camera roll automatically back up to OneDrive but without the two syncing together.
If I wish to delete a photo from my phone I do not want this to delete from OneDrive but currently they do and I cannot find a solution to just have the camera roll back up without the sync in place.
Is anyone able to produce a dummies guide to achieving this as I am not grasping other instructions I have found online.
Many thanks for any assistance.
You can use Tasker APK to automate your Android (S21) camera roll backup to OneDrive without syncing. Tasker is a powerful automation tool that allows you to create custom workflows on your Android device.
To achieve this:
- Install Tasker APK and grant the necessary permissions.
- Create a profile in Tasker to monitor the camera folder for new photos.
- Set up an action to upload those photos to OneDrive using an automation script or plugin like AutoSync or FolderSync.
- Ensure that the delete or sync options are disabled in the OneDrive settings and the automation app.
This way, your photos will back up to OneDrive without being removed when deleted from your phone.
Let me know if you need a detailed guide for setting up Tasker.
