Unable to navigate through photos in OneDrive / Pictures folder

Post by jmt356 »

I am trying to view photos in my Pictures folder, which is located in my OneDrive folder, by using the Photos app. I am unable to navigate between photos while using the arrow keys. When I advance to the next photo, I get a spinning circle.
- Sometimes the spinning circle resolves; sometimes it doesn't.
- When it resolves, sometimes the photo displays correctly; sometimes it displays at a low resolution.
- When it displays at a low resolution, sometimes the full resolution displays after a few seconds of waiting; sometimes it doesn't.

Other bizarre behavior continues in my OneDrive / Pictures folder. For example, if I delete a photo, rather than display the next folder, the Pictures app goes blank.

I do not have these issues if I copy the photos in question from my Pictures folder to any other folder that is located outside of my OneDrive folder. However, the behavior continues with all my pictures in OneDrive / Pictures.

Is a resolution possible?
Regards,

JMT

Have you turned on Files on Demand in Onedrive, i.e. files are only stored in the cloud, not locally?
Best wishes,
Hans

My files are stored locally. I suspect this issue occurs when I first copy the photos over. Maybe the issue is that they are synching? But even after I get the green checkmark next to the files, the issue still sometimes persists for me.
