Android doesn't auto sync files and photos to onedrive

If your Android device is not auto-syncing files and photos to OneDrive, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can take:

1. Check Sync Settings: Ensure that the OneDrive app is set to sync automatically. You can do this by going into the app settings and verifying that the auto-upload feature is enabled for both files and photos.
2. Network Connection: Make sure your device is connected to a stable internet connection. Syncing requires an active internet connection.
3. Battery Saver Mode: If your device is in battery saver mode, it may restrict background data usage, affecting OneDrive's ability to sync. You can disable battery saver mode or allow OneDrive to sync while in this mode.
4. App Permissions: Check that OneDrive has the necessary permissions to access your files and photos. Go to your device's settings, find the OneDrive app, and ensure that it has permission to access storage.
5. Update OneDrive: Make sure you have the latest version of the OneDrive app installed. Sometimes, updates include bug fixes that resolve syncing issues.
6. Reinstall OneDrive: If the problem persists, consider uninstalling and then reinstalling the OneDrive app to reset its settings.

Following these steps should help resolve the auto-sync issue with OneDrive on your Android device.
