About the author
dear Jasper,
I (and Microsoft ...) often struggle with the difference between OneDrive for private use and OneDrive for Business.
For example, I have the impression that everything you can do with photos in OneDrive (private) is not possible in OneDrive for Business, e.g. I can't find anything there specifically for "photos" in the left bar. Is that correct?
I sync my smartphone with OneDrive for Business because I have more storage space there, but have impression that this prevents me from using the specific functions for managing and searching photos.
Any tips on how to do that?
Hi Sam,
It is indeed true that several functionalities are different in the consumer version compared to the Onedrive For Business. Super sorry.
Since a while, though, you can automatically upload photos with OneDrive for Business and have 1024GB of storage.
What features do you miss at OneDrive for Business?
thanks for your response Jasper,
I miss in OneDrive foir Business actually all functions regarding photos that you do have in OneDrive (private): album creation, tagging, photo search, ...
as e.g. described here https://support.microsoft.com/nl-nl/office/foto-s-ordenen-en-zoeken-in-onedrive-6a9b0298-f504-4992-af0e-45e2f270afc9
Hi Sam, that's going to be difficult. Albums I do on SharePoint or Teams in folders. One possibility could be tagging from SharePoint but that's going to make it complex quickly I'm afraid....
