How can I move my iCloud photos and videos to OneDrive

Question

My iCloud 100 GB storage is 80% full but I have 1 TB of storage with OneDrive and 200MB remaining with Google Drive. Microsoft OneDrive seems to have better organization of photos and videos than Google Drive.

To move your iCloud photos and videos to OneDrive, you can use several methods depending on your device. If you're using an iPhone or iPad, start by downloading the OneDrive app from the App Store and signing in with your Microsoft account. Once installed, go to the settings in the OneDrive app and enable the camera upload feature to automatically back up new photos and videos. Then, ensure all your iCloud photos are downloaded to your device by going to **Settings** > **iCloud** > **Photos** and selecting **Download and Keep Originals**. After that, open the Photos app, select the photos and videos you want to move, and use the share option to save them to OneDrive.

If you prefer using a Mac or PC, you can download all your iCloud photos to your computer first. On a Mac, you can use the Photos app and ensure that "Download Originals to this Mac" is selected in iCloud preferences. On Windows, install iCloud for Windows, which will sync your iCloud photos to your PC. After downloading the photos, install OneDrive on your computer, sign in, and drag and drop the photos and videos into your OneDrive folder, where they will automatically upload.

Alternatively, you can use the web to transfer files. Go to **icloud.com**, log in, and download the photos you need. Then, visit **onedrive.com**, sign in, and upload the photos directly from your computer.
