Picture File Location

I know Richard says NOT to Use your database in OneDrive, so I don't.

I Store the Database in a Shared OneDrive Folder.
To use the database, I cut / paste the database file into my local Documents folder, on either my laptop or desktop. When I am done using the database, I cut / paste it back into the OneDrive folder. Then I have the most current version of my database available, and it doesn't matter what device I use.

My Question - Is it ok to store my database pictures in a Shared OneDrive Folder, and continue to actually use the database file locally from either my desktop or computer?

Is the browsing / picking a picture from a OneDrive folder, while using the database locally, a no no too?

Pictures on your shared drive are fine. I use a G: drive myself for pictures that are stored on Google. No problem there. You just don't want to run your ACCDB file from a shared drive.
