Windows 10: Whenever I try to view a photo in a folder with the Photo app, if I hit the right arrow it...

Whenever I try to view a photo in a folder with the Photo app, if I hit the right arrow it goes back to the first picture of the folder instead of the next picture of the sequence, for example, if the folder has 100 pics and I open the pic #50 if I hit the right arrow I expect it to show me the pic #51 but instead, it goes all the way back to pic #1 which is very annoying. Is there a way to fix that?

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 Photos App Left/Right Scroll arrows missing in some photo folders but not all

Thanks Paulself but this seemed to have no effect. I followed all 15 steps to the letter on my Google Drive folder. It seemed to work through all the files reassigning the permissions. Still, with any folder with a mixture of photo and non-photo files, no
left right arrows in the Photos app. Even in a folder with all jpg files, I have to select all the files before opening them to be able to nav left right arrow.

AAAAND back to Picasa.
