See our article How To Add Photos To Your DAKboard Screen to see how to do this. Once the block is added you will need to Authorize your Microsoft Onedrive Account. On the Predefined Screen click the Authorize Your Microsoft Onedrive Account button seen below:





With the Custom Screen, you will click the Authorize Your Microsoft Onedrive Account  button:




This will trigger a new tab opening to the Microsoft authorization page. Select your Microsoft account from the options presented.




Depending on how you have your Microsoft account set up, you may have to confirm with an authenticator to complete the setup. Once authorized, simply close the authorization tab, and you're ready to start configuring your photo display. 




Selecting Albums:


Now that your account(s) are connected, it's time to select the account and the album you wish to view. On your Predefined Screen, you can select from any of your linked Onedrive accounts and all of the Albums in that linked account. On the Predefined Screen, it looks like this:




Make sure to click the Save Changes button before leaving this tab.

Frequently Asked Questions:



Below are the most Frequently Asked Questions about Microsoft Onedrive:



Why am I not seeing the Microsoft Account Selection Page when Adding a New Account?


If you are trying to add multiple Microsoft accounts to your DAKboard and you are not seeing the Account Selection Page, this is due to you being logged into a Microsoft account in your browser already. If you did not log out of your Microsoft account the last time you used it, you will already be logged into that account so it will assume this is the account you want to add. To correct this you can either log out of your Microsoft account so that the DAKboard will take you to the Account Selection page or you can log into your DAKboard Account from an incognito browser as these will not leave open login cookies active in your Browser.
