Saving photos to onedrive

[Alain_A]

Select share, and, if you have a Room, select it, it will save the picture to OneDrive.

why creating a room when it already save to onedrive. Saving pic from internet upload automatically to device and onedrive under saved pictures

Because it is not saving to OneDrive?

I mean, Internet Explorer, it save the pictures to the Pictures hub.

yeah then also saved to onedrive automatically..works that way on my end. I don't need a room for that. when I save a pic from internet it goes at both places ( photo hub and onedrive all at once )

Oh, I got it, you have the "auto upload" enabled. I dont, I prefer the maual method, and Rooms allow manual uploading to OneDrive via Share option.

why using manual upload? as you save it to onedrive anyway

Because I don't like to auto-upload all my photos, I prefer to upload what I want.

fair enough..I have to back track to see where you did that room...for me for future references

Pretty much this. I almost can't believe that someone would ask "why do it manually". It's not like having the option is somehow a bad thing.
Anyway, creating a room with just me in it from the People hub and then sharing the pictures with it works, and that's an acceptable workaround for the moment. At least a lot better than using the terrible OneDrive app.

the thing is that I don't want to auto upload all my photos, i prefer manually selecting the ones I want to upload.

Did anyone else with a Lumia 1020 notice that auto-upload to OneDrive now uploads the full-res 7712 x 4352 pictures?!

Confirmed. It is pretty annoying.

Wait... On any setting or only when Best Quality (needs Wi-Fi) is selected?

Because at best quality I do expect the pictures being uploaded to retain full resolution and original quality.

My setting has always been Best Quality (needs Wifi). It just means the phone updates the original pictures without compressing them. Thing is, 1020 has 2 original pictures, one 5 MP and one 41 MP. Before update, the 5 MP pictures are uploaded. Now the 41 MP pictures are uploaded. At 10 MB a pop, it fills up your One Drive pretty fast. Maybe this is a way for Microsoft to get more paid subscription for OneDrive...

I don't think this is their intention. I remember reading a lot of complaints in the past about only the 5MP picture getting uploaded so I guess MS decided to upload the 38MP picture (the 1020 has a 41 sensor but takes the pictures at 38MP afaik). But I guess they should have made this a selectable option, not everyone has a free 25/28 GB account.

the last sentence is just a joke. MS is really bad at understanding users, they always take away something when doing update.

What do you mean a joke? I'd guess 25/28 Gb should be enough for most resolution photos. But since new OneDrive accounts only receive 5/8 Gb of free space,I can see this being an issue. I guess an option would have been best, but can't you just upload the full pictures, resize them to 5MP using irfan view and save the original 38MP pictures outside the cloud?

Edit: NVM, I just realized you were referring to your last sentence, not mine. I was assuming it wasn't meant to be taken serious and was in jest, but the things we say in jest...

yeah, I was referring to my last sentence, not yours. Of course we can do it manually like that I don't understand why MS always try to dictate what users should do instead of just giving a new option.

I'm actually extremely happy with this feature, now I really never have to connect my 1020 to my computer. But I do agree that they should give you an option which res you want to upload.

By the way, I'm a user of VBA8 and VGBC8; they're seriously awesome. Thanks for being a kick *** developer!
