This general approach applies to many photo storage platforms, including OneDrive.
In OneDrive:
Folder: A folder is a physical storage location that holds files and subfolders in a hierarchical structure.
Album: An album is a virtual collection that groups photos from various folders based on themes or events without changing their physical storage locations.
This distinction allows for flexible organization and sharing of photos.
Albums in OneDrive function as virtual groupings of photos:
Creation: You can create an album by selecting photos from different folders and adding them to a new or existing album.
Organization: Albums help organize photos by themes, events, or subjects without altering their original storage locations.
Sharing: Albums can be shared with others, allowing for collaborative viewing or contributions.
This system enhances photo management and sharing capabilities.
The term "single album" isn't commonly used in OneDrive. Generally, an "album" refers to a virtual collection of photos grouped together for organization or sharing purposes. All albums in OneDrive function similarly, allowing you to compile photos from various folders without duplicating files.
