How to use Photos app or web interface to view OneDrive shared photos folder

Hello, I'm Felipe and I'm an independent Community Advisor, and I'll do my best to help you.

To view a OneDrive shared photos folder using the Photos app or the web interface, you will need to make sure that the folder is properly shared and that your wife has access to it.

Assuming that the folder is already shared and accessible to your wife, here's how you can view it using the Photos app:

Open the Photos app on your wife's PC.

Click on the "Import" button in the top right corner of the window.

Select "From a folder" from the drop-down menu.

Navigate to the OneDrive shared folder and select it.

Click "Add this folder to Pictures" to import it into the Photos app.

Your wife should now be able to view the shared photos folder in the Photos app.

If you prefer to use the web interface, follow these steps:

Go to the OneDrive website and sign in with your wife's Microsoft account.

Locate the shared folder in the file list and click on it to open it.

Click on the first photo to view it in the web viewer.

Use the arrows or swipe gestures to navigate through the photos.

Alternatively, you can click on the "Slideshow" button in the top right corner to automatically play through the photos.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

 

How to import photos onto PC and not onto OneDrive

Hi, Alexandra Welch

Welcome to the MicroSoft Community.



Here are the steps to import photos from your phone directly to your local PC without using OneDrive:

Option 1: Using File Explorer

1. Connect your phone to your PC via USB cable.
   
2. On your phone, you might need to authorize the PC to access your device. Tap on ‘Allow’ or ‘Authorize’ when prompted.
   
3. On your PC, open ‘File Explorer’ (you can do this by pressing Windows Key + E).
   
4. In the File Explorer window, under ‘This PC’ or ‘My Computer’, you should see your phone listed as a connected device.
   
5. Click on your phone’s name, then navigate to the folder where your photos are stored (usually ‘DCIM’ or ‘Pictures’).
   
6. Select the photos you want to import, then copy them (Ctrl + C).
   
7. Navigate to the location on your PC where you want to store the photos, then paste them (Ctrl + V).
   

Option 2: Using Windows Photos App

If you still want to use the Photos app but don’t want to use OneDrive, follow these steps:

1. Plug in your phone to your PC.
   
2. Open the Photos app. You can do this by clicking the Start button, then typing ‘Photos’ and hitting Enter.
   
3. In the Photos app, click ‘Import’ at the top right corner, then select ‘From a USB device’.
   
4. The Photos app will detect your phone. Select it from the list.
   
5. You’ll be prompted to choose where to save your photos. Select ‘More options'.
   
6. Here you can select a new local folder on your PC where to save the photos. After selecting the folder, click ‘Done’.
   
7. Click ‘Next’ to proceed with the import.
   

Please note the exact steps might vary a bit depending on the specific models of your phone and PC. If you encounter any issues, please provide the additional details.
