The Photos app can connect to your OneDrive account so you can see all your photos and videos in one place. You can view these on the OneDrive tab in the Photos app once you’ve connected to your OneDrive account.

The OneDrive tab in the Photos app only displays photos and videos that are stored in the Pictures folder on OneDrive.

When you view a photo or video in your OneDrive cloud collection, it automatically downloads to your Windows machine. Once downloaded, any changes you make to that photo or video file—move, edit, delete—will sync back to your OneDrive.

In the Photos app’s OneDrive tab, you'll see your personal albums and features such as OneDrive memories. OneDrive memories are automatically generated by OneDrive, not the Photos app. You can view memories and albums by selecting them in the Photos app, which takes you to their location on your OneDrive synced on the web.

To connect to OneDrive in the Photos app:

1.In the search box on the taskbar, type photos and then select the Photos app from the results.

2.Then, on your iOS or Android device, install the OneDrive app. You can download the latest version from your phone's Android or iOS app store.

3.From the OneDrive app on your iOS or Android device, turn on Camera Upload in the OneDrive app’s settings. The latest photos and videos that you take will automatically start uploading to OneDrive.
