Syncing doesn't happen

[tpapictures]

I've got Windows 10 on my desktop, laptop, notebook, and phone and when I copy a photo into my OneDrive photos folder, no amount of refreshing syncs it to my other devices. It's not working for me as a way of quickly sending a photo to my phone or tablet by copying it into OneDrive. What do I need to check to make sure the syncing is happening properly? On Win7 there used to be a OneDrive icon in my notification bar that was always on and would spin ANY time I uploaded something. Can't get that now so I can't even see if it's trying to synch, let alone succeeding.

Can someone help? Thanks!

In case anyone is watching, the only thing that was missing was ensuring that OneDrive was set to load when the computer starts up. That had been disabled.
