How to Upload RAW Files to OneDrive?

OneDrive or SkyDrive is cloud storage service which allows you to upload photos and videos to access them from any local device or web browser. It allows you to upload photos in .jpeg, .jpg, .tif and sometimes .bmp file formats. It also allows you to upload RAW files to your account. RAW photo files are the highest quality picture file formats. There are many types of RAW photo file formats available depending on your digital camera. RAW file formats can be edited and opened in many different photo programs. But, it is better to upload photos in .jpeg or .jpg formats, because it creates high quality picture with small sizes by compressing the photo.

If you want to upload high level of visual quality photos to OneDrive, then you should save them in .tif, RAW format or .jpeg at the very lowest compression level. Mostly, high quality photos are compressed and preserve finer details in .jpeg formats.
