Tips for Managing Your Backups

Here are some tips for effectively managing your Amazon Cloud Drive to OneDrive photo backups:

• Back up in batches - Don't try to transfer your entire library at once. Export in smaller batches for faster transfers.
• Use albums - Organize your Amazon Cloud Drive photos into albums and transfer album by album.
• Create OneDrive folders - Make new OneDrive folders to store backups from different times and sources.
• Delete old backups - Remove transferred photos from OneDrive if you need to clear storage space. The originals remain in Amazon Cloud Drive.
• Add to an existing folder - If you already store photos in OneDrive, export Amazon Cloud Drive albums directly into your existing folders.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are answers to some common questions about backing up Amazon Cloud Drive photos to OneDrive on Android:

Does the backup transfer my original photo quality?

Yes, OneDrive will store the full original quality of your photos uploaded from Amazon Cloud Drive. The export does not compress or resize your photos.

Can I back up my Amazon Cloud Drive videos too?

Unfortunately, the export to OneDrive option only supports photos at this time. Videos can only be downloaded directly to your Android device storage.

What happens if I run out of OneDrive storage space?

If your OneDrive account hits its storage limit during a backup, the transfer will stop. You'll need to either delete files in OneDrive to free up space or upgrade to a larger OneDrive storage plan.

Will my OneDrive backups sync to other devices?

Yes! One of the benefits of backing up to OneDrive is that it will automatically sync your copied photos across any PCs or devices also connected to the same OneDrive account.

Can I set up an ongoing scheduled backup?

Definitely. The best way is to use an automation app like Tasker or IFTTT to regularly export new Amazon Cloud Drive photos into your OneDrive backup folder on autopilot.
