Step 1: Download and install Autosync for OneDrive. As the name suggests, Autosync lets you auto-sync a device folder to a cloud folder and vice versa. I will walk you through creating folder pairs and uploading files.
Step 2: Launching the app will ask you to connect your OneDrive account to Autosync. Set it up to view the three-tabbed UI highlighting Status, Sync History, and Synced Folders.
Step 2: To pair a folder, head to Synced Folders and hit the ‘+’ icon. The folder pair menu will ask you to choose the remote folder from OneDrive and a local folder from the device to keep them in sync.
Step 3: In the example below, we have created a pair of ‘Screenshot’ folders in the app. Select the screenshot folder from the device storage and add a similar folder on OneDrive where all the screenshots should automatically get uploaded from now on.
Step 4: The menu will ask you to choose how you want them synced before finalizing the folder. You can choose from the following options:
- Two-way to keep both folders in sync
- Upload only for adding device folders to the cloud
- Upload then delete to erase the images from the PC once they are uploaded
- Upload mirror to make an exact copy of a device folder to the cloud
- Download only to fetch the newly added images from the cloud to a device
- Download then delete will download images from the cloud to the device and will delete them from the cloud folder
- Download mirror will make an exact copy of the cloud folder to a device
Choose When to Start and Delay Sync
In the Autosync for OneDrive app, head over to Settings > Autosync, and you will notice several options for starting the sync process. Select the charger as a power source if you only want to upload images when charging. If you opt for the battery and charger option, you can choose which battery level it should sync.
