To record unforgettable moments in your daily life, you may be in the habit of taking pictures frequently and enjoying them in your spare time. But as you know, PCs and mobile devices have limited space and are vulnerable to human or non-human damage. Therefore, important data needs to be stored in a more secure place, such as backing up photos to OneDrive.

Compared to a physical device, an online storage service like OneDrive can give you many benefits:

• Scalability: External storage devices (such as USB, hard drives) can only provide specific storage space, while online storage can provide a variety of storage plans at more affordable prices. For example, OneDrive offers 5GB of free storage, and once you sign up, you can upload a lot of photos. You can also get up to 1TB and more with an Office 365 subscription.
• Safer: Online storage is a cheaper and more secure option. You don't need to worry about hard drive failure, virus attack, or other situations that could result in lost photos.
• Easy-to-access: Cloud storage services allow you to access your photos from anywhere (iPhone, Android phone or PC) as long as you have an internet connection.

Now, I'll show you how to sync photos from iPhone, Android phone, and PC to OneDrive.
