OneDrive takes a long time to upload files

Hello Heinz,

What is the error you are getting when you try to upload the video into Sway? It's possible that you are running into a network timeout - if the size of the video plus your current network speed causes it to take to long, it will fail. If you are on a
wireless network, you could try using a wired one. Some people have also had better luck uploading the video to OneDrive first and then inserting it from OneDrive from within Sway.

Hope this helps!

Thank you for your answer. The problem is not the timout. Becouse in earlier session it worked well. But with OneDrive it
works well. So it seems that OneDrive as source for SWAY is best solution. Thank you!

Hi,
<br />many thanks for Your feedback.
<br />Actually I have some hundred photos to be renamed.
<br />Is there a) any other options to upload photos from iPhone to OneDrive for a second time?
<br />Or b) how can I rename hundred photos at once?
<br />Regards

Dear Geotrix,

You can use Microsoft Graph to create an app that connects with files across OneDrive, OneDrive for Business, and SharePoint document libraries. With Microsoft Graph, you can build a variety of experiences with files stored in Microsoft 365, from simply storing user documents to complex file-sharing scenarios.

Take a look at below link for further information:

Well, to be really honest Microsoft says that not support Symbolic Links in OneDrive client
<br />Microsoft Says in below document:
<br />"You can't add a network or mapped drive as your OneDrive sync location. OneDrive doesn't support syncing using symbolic links or junction points."
<br />https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...arepoint-64883a5d-228e-48f5-b3d2-eb39e07630fa
<br />But in this other document they use "mklink" as a workaround
<br />Microsoft say: "Solution/Workaround
<br />To work around this issue, use symbolic links to link a local path of the local OneDrive sync folder. Files that are put in the linked location will be added to the local OneDrive folder and will be synchronized to your OneDrive or SharePoint site.
<br />The mklink command is used to create symbolic links at the command prompt. To create a symbolic link to a folder, you must first create a target folder in the local OneDrive location and then use the following command: "
<br /> mklink /d \Path to Link\Path to Target
