Sorting out my backup photos that load from my phone camera to OneDrive; I have inadvertently ended up with two Microsoft accounts and am hoping to stop paying for one and not have stuff I want go away, but trying to tell what is where isn't easy. So I'm filing my photos from the camera roll by year and will see if I can see the updated results from both "accounts." If so, one can just go away at the end of it's subscription. You can't rush these processes or they crash.

OneDrive is cheaper than a similar amount of paid space on Dropbox, but it isn't as easy to use as Dropbox. My Dropbox account is a free one and as long as I don't get too close to the space limit they don't keep pestering me to pay for the account. If I can get the OneDrive sorted out then I'll empty Dropbox and go back to using it for daily stuff and anything more than a few months old will be retrieved from OneDrive. I stopped backing up to Dropbox in March, but I miss it.

Probably as clear as mud, but the short reason for this is that if I want to find anything in OneDrive using a phone or tablet it eats up the battery and takes a long time to scroll back years in the Camera Roll. This way I can aim at where I think things are and search more easily. I'm moving 2018 now.
