    Windows Central Question
    I've noticed for some time now that the photos from my phone are not updated to my OneDrive, though I do have an internet connection and space on my OneDrive available. My phone is a Lumia 550. How can I force the upload and make sure my photos are safe?

    check in photos app settings that backup to onedrive is enabled
    Also, open the onedrive app and check if there are any errors in uploading files

    I had the same problem on my Lumina 950, and Surface Pro 4.

    Solved it like this:

    Lumina 950, Pictures app, select an image that has not been uploaded to Onedrive, press the sharebutton, select onedrive, and the folder you upload your pictures to. Repeat this a few times.

    After a while, the images that had not synced, and was not forced to upload earlier, started syncing.

    When my phone had finished syncing, I turned on my Surface Pro, and started the pictures app, it startet syncing right away.

    Problem solved for me, but I cannot explain why this is so. Hopefully it will help you as well.
