Hey janrob61,


The articles in the message above should help, however a computer with Finder or iTunes is needed. If you need access to the article again, here it is Import music from a computer to Music on Mac. In step 2 when it says to locate the file or folder, look for One Drive in the dropdown and select the folder of music you want to import.


Afterwards, use the computer to sync music to the iPhone: Sync music between your Mac and iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


There isn't a way to transfer files from One Drive to the Music app on the iPhone itself.


If you would like to submit feedback and/or suggestions about this to Apple, you may do so here: Product Feedback .


Take care.

Hey janrob61,


You would need a computer with iTunes installed or a Mac running macOS 10.15 or later: Import music from a computer to Music on Mac - Apple Support or Import media from a computer to iTunes on PC - Apple Support


Then you can sync music to your iPhone: Sync your iPhone, iPad, or iPod using your computer - Apple Support


Let us know if you have any questions! Take care.

Thank you for your response. Unfortunately this does not help me.

my music is in One Drive, which is a Microsoft cloud just like iCloud I do not have a computer now and while I have a Mac I don’t want to exhaust my memory on it. The music is just in folders now, I believe in mp3 format. there is no iTunes now just “music” on apple devices.


So, the question is how do I copy music from one drive account to iPhone

thank you
