Yes, you can use OneDrive on your iPhone 12 instead of iCloud. Microsoft offers a OneDrive app for iOS devices, including iPhones. Here's how you can do it:
Step 1. Install the OneDrive app: Go to the App Store on your iPhone 12, search for "OneDrive," and install the official OneDrive app developed by Microsoft.
Step 2. Sign in or create an account: Open the OneDrive app and sign in with your Microsoft account. If you don't have one, you can create a new account for free.
Step 3. Enable automatic photo backup (optional): You can set up OneDrive to automatically back up your iPhone photos and videos to your OneDrive cloud storage. Go to the app's settings and enable the "Camera Upload" feature.
Step 4. Manually move files: If you have files stored in iCloud that you want to move to OneDrive, you can do it manually. Open the iCloud app, select the files, and then use the "Share" or "Move" option to move them to OneDrive.
Step 5. Access files on multiple devices: OneDrive is cross-platform, so you can access your files not only on your iPhone but also on other devices like your computer or Android phone.
Remember that while using OneDrive instead of iCloud is possible, consider your storage needs and the available free storage on each platform. If you need more storage, Microsoft offers various paid plans for OneDrive.
