In OwAI, connect your account, open OneDrive and sign in to Microsoft. Add a folder with its subfolders. Indexing and face detection follow App Settings. Collections, groups and labels sync through OwAI; originals stay in OneDrive.
What to expect
Small thumbnails are cached; desktop videos download to a playback cache. Offline access is limited to cached media. Approved deletions use OneDrive’s recycle bin, not OwAI’s 30-day recovery. Removing a source never deletes its OneDrive files.
