shared folders show up in Photos app
I love the new feature (released in July 2015 I think) where folders that are shared with me can be added to my OneDrive.
However, I'm dismayed to learn that any photos in those shared folders do not show up in either:
a) The Photos experience at onedrive.com
b) In the new Windows 10 photos app.
If I'm adding a shared folder to my OneDrive then I consider that folder to be part of my OneDrive just like all the other photos so i'd expect photos to show up in the Photos experiences. please could you change the Photos experience on onedrive.com and the Photos app on Windows 10 so that such photos show up. Thanks.

A real pitty that all our automatically uploaded pictures cannot be viewed in one central place like the photos app. I've been spending hours to find a work around...

The intention was to share the photo of my phone with the ones on the phone of my wife. So that we can see our photos all together on each phone. Also I wanted to make overall albums in Microsoft Photos. Both is not possible.
BTW: Google Photos supports this feature

How is that still not implemented? Not only it is annoying, but also makes experience of using one drive extremely inconsistent.

I would also like to see the photos my wife and I take together without having to duplicate them to both of our OneDrive accounts and waste space. Please make this happen!

OneDrive Team,
I think that this is an important feature for families. My wife and I both have pictures shared to each other. However, we can't see all of the pictures in one spot (Photos Tab in OneDrive). Please consider making this happen.

I believed this was a basic function of a cloud drive / sharing service - certainly one as integrated with the OS as OneDrive. Until I discovered it is not... :-( Please enable this.

I moved away from Google Drive because shared folders were ignored by Google Photos and now I've discovered OneDrive has the same problem.
Microsoft please fix.

I moved from Dropbox to OneDrive and I really miss this feature. I would like to see the pictures of me and my wife in one Album and in the Picture overview.
