In what way do you want to use Lightroom with OneDrive? You have posted in the Lightroom section, so I will assume you don't mean Lightroom Classic.
Lightroom stores its originals in the Adobe Cloud, maintaining only cached data on your local machine (and backup copies of originals, if you desire, and set that option). You could designate the 2nd backup copies to be stored on OneDrive, but there isn't much else to do.
if you are asking about Lightroom Classic, please clarify as that is an entirely different answer.
Thanks for your response, sooy, this was my first time using the forums, I currently use Lr Classic, import photos, via Lr C and once done editing them etc, make them offline only.
I was wondering about the nature of Lr CC if you could use a different cloud service other than adobe cloud, which starts getting very expensive once you have a lot in the cloud.
If you are using Lightroom Classic then you are synchronizing collections. Those collections are smart previews, and they do not Count against your cloud allotment. In other words, it is possible to share as many collections as you want, and you cannot ever exhaust your cloud allotment. The only way you could do that is if you are also using Lightroom, the cloud version, and are importing images directly into it, thereby putting the full-sized master images in the cloud.
LR Classic can be used with OneDrive, if you inted to use LR Classic on more than one device you should store the pohotos in a file system inside the same folder as the LR C Catalog, then LR C will use relative paths to the photos. So you can have different drive letter and path to your local OneDrive folder, on lets say your desktop PC and your laptop.
Thanks: This could be super-helpful. I want to use LR Classic on more than one device, and it wants to save the catalog to: my hard drive > Users > Me > Pictures, which seems fine. Do I then save an alias to the OneDrive folder in that same location?
(Then I would do this on my other two devices as well?)
