How to create Album in SkyDrive? RRS feed

  • Question

  • Hi, I'm wondering how one create Album in SkyDrive. I have tried with create folder, but it is always marked as Folder. The only Album I'm awared of is Photos that are accessible via left menu bar besides Files and Documents. If this is the only way to have Album I have to ask - why is then allowed to have other objects in Album (i.e. why videos, audios and files are allowed as well). The name implies that only Photos should be there. If there is another method to create Album, please help me with advice.

    In this matter one more thing is not clear to me. In documentation it is said that in Folder one can store "photos, videos, audio, and subfolders" and in Albums "can contain combinations of photos, videos, audio, files, and folders". In reallity it looks like Folder and Album are the same - I am allowed to store everything that SkyDrive supports.

    It would be very valuable for me if someone can shed some light in this matter.

     

    Regards,

    Whether an folder is treated as an album or not is dictated by its contents. You can try this out yourself by going to http://skydrive.live.com and creating a new folder then placing only a document in it versus only a picture.
