The files you save to OneDrive (including the iPhone camera roll) can be accessed via the web and from all the devices installed with OneDrive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This includes Mac computers, other iPhones, iPad, Windows PCs, and Android devices.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can&rsquo;t sync features and content such as your Contacts, Notes, Reminders, Calendars, and Keychain automatically with OneDrive as you can with iCloud.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, if you use OneDrive for backing up photos and videos, you also need to modify your iCloud settings to prevent it from also backing up these same files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another thing to be aware is, when Optimize Storage is checked and turned on in iCloud, the original and full-sized versions of the photos are stored in iCloud while smaller versions of these photos are kept on the device. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These photos can&rsquo;t be uploaded to OneDrive unless you uncheck and turn off optimization: on your iPhone, go to Settings&gt;iCloud&gt;Photos &gt; uncheck &ldquo;Optimize Storage&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&rsquo;s how to replace iCloud with OneDrive on your iPhone:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Download and install the free OneDrive app from the<a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/microsoft-onedrive\/id477537958\" rel=\"noopener\"> Apple App Store<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once done, log in with your personal, work, or school email address and password that you use for OneDrive.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can now backup, access, view, and share files on OneDrive.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Upload your existing camera images and videos from your iPhone to OneDrive first.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can turn off iCloud Photos by going to Settings&gt;[your name]&gt;iCloud&gt;Photos, and turn off iCloud Photos. You may choose to turn off iCloud entirely.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"backing-up-iphone-to-onedrive\">Backing up iPhone to OneDrive<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>For iOS devices such as an iPhone, iCloud is generally a better choice because it can back up your entire device through the built-in features. OneDrive, in contrast, can&rsquo;t back up your iPhone entirely through the mobile app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Windows and Microsoft 365 users, OneDrive is integrated making it a much better option than iCloud. It can back up not just photos, videos, and music but also your Office documents and other files from different devices such as Android phones.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s not possible to back up your iPhone to OneDrive directly. You can back up some content from your iPhone to OneDrive such as documents, photos, and videos, but not the entire content as iCloud and iTunes can do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, you can do this indirectly through your computer. First back up your iPhone using iTunes on Windows PC and Finder or iTunes on your Mac Computer. With OneDrive already set up on your computer, locate the backup data and copy it from the computer hard drive to the OneDrive folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"642\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image-4-1024x642.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image-4-1024x642.png 1024w, https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image-4-300x188.png 300w, https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image-4-768x481.png 768w, https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image-4-1536x963.png 1536w, https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image-4.png 1560w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 40px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"642\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image-4-1024x642.png.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3465 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image-4-1024x642.png.webp 1024w, https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image-4-300x188.png.webp 300w, https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image-4-768x481.png.webp 768w, https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image-4-1536x963.png.webp 1536w, https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image-4.png.webp 1560w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 40px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/image-4.png\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-7\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"moving-files-from-icloud-to-onedrive\">Moving files from iCloud to OneDrive<\/h2>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/img_612249882a024.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"544\" height=\"383\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/img_612249882a024.png.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"544\" height=\"383\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-8\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/img_612249884eac4.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1022\" height=\"548\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/img_612249884eac4.png.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1022\" height=\"548\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-9\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/img_61224988a67d1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1023\" height=\"546\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mobilepains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/img_61224988a67d1.png.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1023\" height=\"546\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-10\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is the general procedure for doing this on Windows 10:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Install the iCloud app from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/p\/icloud\/9pktq5699m62?activetab=pivot:overviewtab\" rel=\"noopener\">Microsoft Store<\/a>.
