Question

Answer 1

Let me know if you could find your photos

Answer 2

Hi, I'm Rodrigo and I will help you.
If you want the backed-up photos from your phone to OneDrive, on the computer, access https://onedrive.live.com/, or if you have OneDrive logged on the computer, open the OneDrive folder.
The photos are stored in the Pictures\Camera Roll folder.

If you did not use the backup feature from the phone but uploaded manually, the photos will be located in the folder you uploaded to.

Answer 3

If photos from the phone are uploaded to OneDrive, they can be accessed on the computer in two main ways:

1. Using the Photos app on Windows
   1. On the PC, open the Photos app (type Photos in the Start menu).
   2. In the left navigation bar, select the OneDrive tab.
   3. If not already connected, select Sign in and sign in with the same Microsoft account used in OneDrive on the phone, and allow permissions.
   4. Once connected, photos and videos uploaded to OneDrive from the phone will appear in the Photos app.
2. Using File Explorer with OneDrive
   1. Make sure the phone is uploading photos to OneDrive:
      • On the phone, install and open the OneDrive app.
      • Sign in with the Microsoft account.
      • Turn on Camera upload in OneDrive app settings so new photos and videos are saved to OneDrive.
   2. On the PC (Windows 10 or 11), open File Explorer from the taskbar.
   3. In the left pane, select OneDrive.
   4. Sign in with the same Microsoft account used on the phone.
   5. After OneDrive folders appear, go to Pictures > Camera Roll. The uploaded phone photos will be there and can be opened, copied, or moved like any other files.

If using a Surface and the Phone Link app, recent photos can also be viewed by opening Phone Link on the Surface and selecting Photos, but for full access and backup, OneDrive as described above is recommended.
