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.

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.
