How to Rename Files During Upload in the OneDrive iPhone App
Question details
Users want to know how to rename files or scanned images while uploading them using the OneDrive app for iPhone, as this feature's workflow appears to have changed.
- Product
- Microsoft OneDrive
- Device & OS
- iOS
- Scenario
- Scanning images or uploading files to OneDrive via the iPhone app.
- Observed behavior
- The current OneDrive scanning workflow requires users to save the image or file first before they are able to rename it, whereas it previously allowed renaming during the upload.
Ensure your OneDrive iPhone app is updated to the latest version from the App Store, and confirm you have a stable internet connection before scanning or uploading files.
Save the File First and Rename Later in OneDrive
Since the current scanning workflow in the OneDrive iOS app may not support renaming during the actual upload, saving the file first is the best workaround.
Recent updates to the OneDrive iPhone app have modified the document scanning workflow. Currently, you cannot rename a scanned image or file in the middle of the upload process. You must save the file to your directory first and then rename it using the file management menu.
Use the camera icon or upload button in the OneDrive app to capture or select your file, then proceed to upload.
Complete the initial upload process by saving the scanned image or document to your desired OneDrive folder.
Locate the newly saved file in your folder, then tap the three-dot menu (...) next to the file name.
Select 'Rename' from the context menu, type the new name for your file, and tap 'Done' to apply the changes.
Manage and Scan Your Documents Easily with WPS Office
If you are frustrated with changes in OneDrive's scanning workflow, try WPS Office. It provides a built-in document scanner, free cloud storage, and robust file management that allows you to easily rename, edit, and organize files on your iPhone. It is lightweight and fully compatible with Microsoft Office formats.
- 1. Download WPS Office: Get the free WPS Office app from the iOS App Store.
- 2. Use the Scanner Tool: Open the app, tap on 'Tools', and select the 'Scanner' feature to capture your document.
- 3. Rename and Save: Instantly rename the scanned document before saving it to your local device or WPS Cloud.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did OneDrive remove the ability to rename during upload on iPhone?
Microsoft frequently updates the OneDrive app to streamline workflows. The ability to rename during upload was likely altered in a recent update to simplify the initial scanning interface, though consistent user feedback may prompt them to restore it.
Can I rename multiple scanned files at once in the OneDrive iOS app?
Currently, the OneDrive mobile app for iOS does not support batch renaming for uploaded files. You must tap the three-dot menu next to each individual file to rename them one by one.
How do I submit feedback to Microsoft about the OneDrive iPhone app?
Open the OneDrive app, tap your profile icon at the top left corner, select 'Help & Feedback', and choose 'Suggest a feature' or 'Report a problem' to share your experience with the development team.
