    If you are experiencing issues with sending photos to your phone due to OneDrive storage, it could be related to the available space in your OneDrive account. When your OneDrive storage is full, it can prevent files from being uploaded or synced, which could result in failures when trying to send photos from your computer to your phone.

    To resolve this issue, you may want to check your OneDrive storage capacity and free up space if necessary. You can do this by deleting unnecessary files or upgrading your storage plan if you need more space.

    Additionally, ensure that your OneDrive is properly synced and that you are logged into the same account on both your computer and phone.

    If the problem persists, you might want to consult troubleshooting steps related to file uploads in Microsoft Teams or OneDrive, as there may be specific error messages or conditions affecting the upload process.

    Hello, thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

    I understand you're encountering an error when sending files from your computer to your Phone using the Phone Link feature.

    Could you please let us know the exact error message or notification you see when trying to share the file to your phone?

    If possible, please also share a screenshot of the error, as it will help us assist you more accurately.

    If you are trying to share OneDrive files or online-only files (blue cloud icons) to your phone while your storage is already full, you may receive an error indicating that the storage is full. This happens because online-only files are not stored locally on the device; they must be downloaded first before they can be shared.

    Move the files to your local folder, then try sharing them with your phone. (Select the File > Click Send to your Phone). It will be sent to your mobile device instantly.

    Also, go to https://onedrive.live.com/?v=managestorag OneDrive storage section to free up space on your OneDrive.
