Need help with onedrive

florintina89

Hi,

i am getting a new phone the samsung galaxy s6 sometime and i have uploaded all my photos, videos and music already on onedrive. I downloaded this app on my phone at the moment.

I was wondering could someone tell me how i can upload everything i saved onto my new samsung galaxy s6?

Do i need a usb cable or what the fastest way and not to complicated?

Thanks

So you're trying to get all your info from older phone (what is the older phone?) to the S6, in the quickest way possible, yes?

Hi yes that is what i am looking to do. I have the samsung galaxy s5 now and i downloaded the app one drive and have uploaded all my photos, music and videos on it and its saved to that.
I was wondering how do i get them from one drive onto my new phone?

Or do i just download the app onto my new phone to?

Ok so why use One drive?

why not try something ultimately simpler like Smart Switch.

I'd recommend using smart switch too. It's a brilliant app. When you get your s6 it should prompt you to use it.

In the OneDrive app you can select all of the items of a folder and hit the Save button (it's the down arrow over a line)

Otherwise as you suggest you could plug your phone into your PC and drag the files to the phone or SD card from One drive in Windows Explorer

You definitely want them physically on the phone as well as in OneDrive?

thanks very much for this. Reason i was using one drive cause someone told me about it and since i have a hotmail email address this why used it.

I will download this app you told me about.So when i get my new phone how will i get everything in to it? Do i download app again onto new phone? There is no SD card with new phone be first time for me having a phone that dont have it.

It's a brilliant app. I used it when changing to the s6. It copied over everything in a couple of minutes without any hassle.

I think you'll have to talk to your carrier, if it doesn't come pre-installed it should be down to them.
Apart from that, I'd ask Samsung.

Make sure one drive is set to upload at full resolution. By default it only backs up compressed versions of images, so lesser quality.
