Windows 10: Is there an isue with .TIFF images in oneDrive?

Dear Forum,
I am currently testing the free version of Onedrive, planning scan and upload a number of old photos.
This is not directly related to windows 10, as the main issue is related to the display of images on android devices, but I am not sure really if the issue is onedrive or android...


I seem to have an issue with the format of the photos. Scanning them with my Canon Lide400 scanner and storing the scanned images as .TIFF they do not load correctly in oneDrive on my Andriod phone or android tablet. When I upload a folder with .TIFF images and later try view them either as "album" or in the "file view" , when I click on one image in the folder it seems to freeze briefly before displaying the photo as "1 of 1" photos, i.e. I am not able to sweep to view the pictures in the folder or album. In order to view the next photo I need to go back to the thumbnail view and then scroll down to the next photo and click on that, then repeat the process for each photo. Having it like this it really impractical to have a huge number of photos in oneDrive.
When I look at the albums on my computer, the albums with the scanned images are appearing in a totally random order. (even though I have sorted them, they get randomized later )this is not the case with other images from a phone or camera. So I kind of suspect it must be something with onedrive and .tiff


Tested with another format, and when I scan and store as JGPs before upload, I do not have this issue.
Does anyone know why this happens? is it something with the .TIFF format that microsoft does not like? A scanned TIFF image is about 5MB, whereas a JGP is 500 kB, but I have not read anything about file size limitations in onedrive. The same pictures are displayed correctly in google images ...

Hope someone can help with this...

converting multiple tiff files into one

Hello SNOHOMY,

Open the Word file and then click File->Print from the application menu.

Choose TIFF Image Printer 11.0 from the list of printers and then click the Print button.

Enter the location and filename for the TIFF file and then click Save.

Open the JPEG image and click File->Print from the application menu.

Choose TIFF Image Printer 11.0 from the list of printers and then click the Print button.

Enter the same filename, choose TIFF Multipaged (*.tif) and check Append to file, then click Save.

Now open the Excel spreadsheet and click File->Print from the application menu.

Enter the same filename, choose TIFF Multipaged (*.tif) and check Append to file, then click Save.

Now all 3 files are merged together in a single TIFF file.

You can see it in a video



Hope it helps, have a good day

Windows 10 - OneDrive

Right click on the app and one of the properties has an option to not automatically start it. Uncheck, restart the computer, and it should stop. If you want to go another step further, find the OneDrive app in the start menu, right click on it and uninstall.

If that is still insufficient, there is a batch uninstaller for OneDrive available online. I can copy the code here if you need it.
