OneDrive users store tons of photos on OneDrive. So how to make most of it using it efficiently to organize and find your photos? OneDrive helps with features like photo search, tags and albums. Let us see some more details about it and some tips on how to use this:

When it is arranged by date, the date appears over the scroll bar as you scroll up and down your photos helping to find your photos.


Searching Photos:
You can use the Search photos command to not only scan photo tags and metadata, but also extract and search text shown in photos. It now can also recognize objects in a photo, as another way to find the picture you want. To do this:
From the OneDrive on the web, select Photos.
Type in the search box such as - a name, a place, or a date you want to search
and OneDrive will give you the photo search result




OneDrive automatically create tags for the things it recognizes. But sometimes it makes mistakes, so you may want to correct it. You can remove or edit the tags for photos. To do this:
Select the photo
Select Edit tags
Type a new tag or click on the x next to tag to remove it.
OneDrive also groups together all the photos taken within a single date.You can see them from All Photos view. And all these photos have location tags, which you can make use to quickly view all photos from the same location. To do this:
Select the list of location tags next to a date.
Select your preferred location from the list.

Next let us check about Albums.
OneDrive can automatically create an album from any pictures or videos you take that day or weekend, and notify you when it's ready. Automatic albums are sent only with you, but contain a sharing link so anyone you send the email to will also have access to that album.
You can stop OneDrive automatically creating albums by turning off Create albums automatically when I upload photos setting from the Photos settings page in OneDrive web.

 You can also create Albums yourself. From the OneDrive web, select photos > Albums > New Album and type a name for it. Then you can select photos you want to add to the album and then click Add album. This can be done on mobile device too.
So these were some of the tips that will help you to organize and find your photos.
