Backup iPhone photos directly to OneDrive

I am currently using icloud for backups but would like to backup photos only to one drive. Or if there is a way to set a direct link to automatically send to one drive after taking them.

I am driven crazy by the amount of multiple photos i have to look through even after making folders for them.

Any ideas??

Backing up my iPhone Photos to a Local Machine instead of the Cloud Hello Apple Community, I have recently changed the way I save and back up my data and I've transitioned everything I do now on my computer to always saving locally on the system instead of always saving to the cloud because I now prefer to save my files locally. The thing I haven't exactly transitioned over to my new backup strategy is my photos on my iPhone. I used to use Microsoft's OneDrive to automatically back up my photos to the cloud and it worked very well but this doesn't work for me anymore. I've been using Dropbox for about 3 weeks now trying to not use OneDrive Backup and setting Dropbox to just have the newest photos on my iPhone backed up to my computer and deleting the photos from Dropbox once I've finished backing them up. It's not very convenient as I'm still tied to a cloud service for my photos. I also always organise my photos so the idea of transferring everything from my iPhone to my computer and trying to see what photos I do and don't have on my PC is a big pain. Is there a better way to back up my photos locally? Thank you.

Can I upload photos to iCloud without syncing to iPhone? I have 20,000 old images on the Photos app on my iMac and I want to back them up to my iCloud so I can factory reset my computer. However I don’t want these images to sync to my current phone - which also uses iCloud to backup my current photos. Is there a way to upload all 20k images to iCloud but NOT have it sync to my iPhone? Thanks [Re-Titled by Moderator]

iCloud Photos and Backup I wish this article: Backup methods for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support was clearer. iCloud backups include all the information and settings stored on your device that don't already sync to iCloud. iCloud backups don't include: Photos, if you turned on iCloud Photos Am I backing up my photos twice if I have iCloud Photos set to <On> and have Backup this Phone set to <On>? Or is the only way to backup photos is by setting iCloud Photos set to <On> ? Also, where in settings can I see the list photos with sizes?
