Automatic backup of images?

[SirFido]

Hello! 

I have a quick question; I have a single folder where i store all the images i have ever taken and naturally i want to back up this folder somewhere. I recently invested in Onedrive, Microsoft's cloud storage. Is it possible for me to have a folder automatically backed up on the cloud without me having to manually copy the images from my hard drive and move them over to onedrive? Thank you!

You'd have to move the files to the OneDrive folder for them to sync automatically.

Yhea, but i want to have the pictures two places. So when i save something on my hard drive, it gets on Onedrive as well without me doing anything.

Sorry, I didn't explain that well. So Onedrive should create a dedicated folder on your hard drive that you can place files in like you normally would, only they will be automatically synced with Onedrive but will still be saved on the local disk too:

Weird, on Google drive (backup and sync) you can choose whatever folders you want to to be uploaded and kept updated, you don't need to move anything to somewhere spesific.

Please keep in mind that that onedrive will replicate all changes instantly to the cloud.
