Upload images from iPads to OneDrive/SharePoint

Upload images from iPads to OneDrive/SharePoint

You can now upload images taken on your iPad to your personal OneDrive or team SharePoint Library wherever you have an internet connection without the need for a cable or computer.

Step 1 - Setup/Open OneDrive
  1. Locate the OneDrive app on your iPad and tap to open
  2. If this is the first time opening OneDrive you will be presented with the login screen. Enter your @ilpartnership email address and press the blue button

  3. Enter your password and tab Sign In

  4. If this is the first time setting up OneDrive, you will be prompted to restart OneDrive. Press OK and close OneDrive if it doesn't close automatically.

  5. Re-open OneDrive and tap OK if prompted with the message below

  6. Enter a PIN if prompted and continue.
  7. You will then be presented with the OneDrive home screen where you can navigate to any shared SharePoint libraries and view recent files. In the example we will create a new folder in your personal OneDrive called iPad Photos.
  8. Click on Files along the bottom to be taken to your personal OneDrive

  9. To create a new folder click on the Plus "+" in the top right corner
  10. Tab on Create a folder
  11. Give this folder a name (In this example I will call this iPad Images) and click create
  12. Once you're in the folder where you wish to upload the image to, press the Plus "+" again and tab on "Upload"

  13. You can then choose the images to upload. Tab on multiple to upload multiple images at a time.
  14. Wait for upload to finish.
Complete! - Your images are now stored in the Microsoft 365 cloud ready to be accessed, printed and shared.

Step 2 - Access files & print from a Windows machine
  1. Once logged in to Windows, Open your File Explorer
  2. In the left menu click on OneDrive
  3. If you've not logged in before, enter your login details and sign in
  4. Once logged in a new item will appear with your Synced OneDrive
  5. Click into here and you will be able to view your files and navigate to the folder with your iPad images.
  6. You can then select the images you wish to print as you normally would.
Note: If the images are in .heic format you may need to convert these to Jpeg before printing. A free online tool to do this can be found here https://heictojpg.com/ 

If your images were saved to a SharePoint library, please access the folder using Cloud Drive Mapper. Further info on Cloud Drive Mapper can be found here: https://ictsupport.ilpartnership.org/portal/en/kb/articles/how-to-access-files-onedrive-sharepoint
