Can I Save My Outlook Emails to OneDrive?
"How do I backup Outlook emails to OneDrive? I've attempted various instructions I came across, but none seem to do the trick. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!"
If you don't want to backup Outlook emails as PST files, you can move an Outlook email to OneDrive as PDF files by Outlook Print or the free third-party service MultCloud. The first way requires you to transfer emails one by one. However, the second way is more automatic which allows you to schedule the task and supports transferring emails up to 200 emails at the same time. You can learn the specific steps in the following parts.
In this part, let’s see why we choose to backup emails from Outlook to OneDrive.
- Synchronization: OneDrive provides synchronization features that allow you to sync your email data across multiple devices. This ensures that changes made to emails or attachments on one device are reflected on all other devices connected to the same OneDrive account.
- Disaster Recovery: If a catastrophic event affects your email provider or account, having a backup on OneDrive can help you quickly restore your emails and resume communication without significant downtime.
- Storage Management: Emails can take up a considerable amount of space in your email account, especially if they contain attachments. By moving old or less important emails to OneDrive, you can free up space in your email account and avoid reaching storage limits.

Bonus Tip: How to Backup Outlook Emails to Hard Drive

Like Email Migration, Email Download also supports downloading emails with or without attachments. Also, you can download up to 200 emails at the same time if you are a premium user.

How to Backup Outlook Emails to OneDrive via Outlook Print [Manually]

Step 1: Enter the Outlook website and log in to your account.
Step 2: Select the email that you want to transfer and click "Print" in the upper taskbar. Then, confirm to "Print" on the email overview page.
Step 3: When you come to the print preview pop-up window, choose "Microsoft Print to PDF" in "Destination" and check the print settings. After all the settings, click "Print" in the lower-right corner and soon you can see an email appearing in a local place as a PDF file.
Step 4: Open OneDrive and log in to your account. Then click “Upload”, choose “Files”, and upload the PDF files to OneDrive. Till now, you have finished the operations to backup Outlook emails as PDFs to OneDrive.
