Hi @Marty Steurer,

Thank you for posting your question to Microsoft Q&A Forum.

To sync files from your Microsoft computer to your iPhone using OneDrive to set up OneDrive on your computer:

1. Make sure OneDrive is installed and running on your Windows PC.
2. Sign in with your Microsoft 365 work or school account.
3. Move or save files into the OneDrive folder on your PC. Anything in this folder automatically syncs to the cloud.

The next step is installing OneDrive on your iPhone

1. Go to the App Store and download Microsoft OneDrive.
2. Open the app and sign in with the same account you use on your PC.
3. Once signed in, you’ll see all files synced from your computer.

Normally, on your PC, OneDrive syncs automatically when online.

You can enable automatic sync on your iPhone by:

• Enable Camera Upload in OneDrive settings to sync photos.
• Access and edit files directly from the OneDrive app.
