I am trying to transfer from a micro sd and not having much luck, apols if i am not clear going forward.

I have a night camera to observe comings and goings of animals/birds during night time, similar to this

on transferring the SD i cannot get pictures to transfer. It worked a few months ago but one thing has changed, my new windows 11 laptop. This seems to have one drive, whichg has now made impossible to pick up the photo's and videos. I used to drop them into documents as easy as that.  Onedrive says it's full and I must sort out what to move (keep) and what to delete, and preferably never use one drive again. Can someone suggest instructions that make sense to this less understanding person

It says "import 37", though the folder to choose is "greyed out" (i can't do a snip it seems today to clarify, sorry).

Can someone help me pls

    Copy everything in your documents folder to another location that is not under your user name (documents, pictures, etc).  OneDrive automatically syncs everything in your user folders (documents, pictures, etc.)  If you don't use those folders it won't do anything with the contents of those other folders unless you tell it to.  If you stop using your documents folder then you will have no issues.

    If you want to turn OneDrive off:
    Go to the OneDrive settings and tell it no to start when you sign into Windows.  Then quit OneDrive.  It is now turned off.
