How OneDrive works

Original photos and videos stay on your personal OneDrive. The gallery shows only smaller JPEG previews from us, and guests do not need a Microsoft account.

Instead of OneDrive you can choose Google Drive. How Google Drive works.

How to set it up

  1. Create an album and choose OneDrive.
  2. Sign in with a personal Microsoft account (Outlook, Hotmail, or Microsoft 365 Personal / Family). A work account will not work.
  3. Microsoft asks for permission. If it says the app is not verified yet, continue.
  4. Photos go to Apps/fotkyzakce OneDrive / album name.
  5. Share the QR code. Guests upload without a Microsoft account.

Where files go

The app creates the album folder inside the app folder: Apps/fotkyzakce OneDrive / album name. You cannot pick a different folder. Guest originals go there. Original download and lightbox video come from OneDrive through us, not a public link.

What Microsoft shows

A fotkyzakce.cz account is email and password. Connecting OneDrive is separate, after you create an album. Microsoft asks whether we may save photos into the app folder - we cannot see the rest of your OneDrive. Only a personal account works. Work OneDrive, SharePoint, and work/school accounts cannot be connected.

Guests never see OneDrive

Guests do not approve Microsoft and do not need a Microsoft account. A public link from the OneDrive folder would bypass the album PIN - so we do not use one.

The space is yours

Space is your Microsoft account quota. Free OneDrive has 5 GB (shared with Outlook and other Microsoft services) - tight for photos, often too small for video. Microsoft 365 Personal or Family has 1 TB. The product does not cap you at 5 GB. When OneDrive is full, uploads stop.

How long the connection lasts

The OneDrive connection stays until you disconnect it on the album list, revoke access in your Microsoft account, or Microsoft invalidates it - typically after about 90 days when nobody uses OneDrive from the album (upload, original download, video, ZIP). It does not depend on being signed in to fotkyzakce.cz. Guests are not affected. The preview gallery keeps working; uploads and original downloads then need Connect again.

Disconnect

You can disconnect OneDrive from the album list. Uploads then stop; already uploaded gallery previews stay. Disconnect does not delete files on OneDrive - only deleting a photo or the album does.

Hosted storage

Later we will offer our own hosted storage if you do not want to connect Drive or OneDrive.
