8.1 photos app
I just installed Windows 8.1 preview and while I realize this not final code I'm not sure if I'm the only one having this problem with the photos app. When I open the app it does not show me pictures on SkyDrive or Facebook.  I could see these previously in 8.  I did choose to use SkyDrive for photos in setup. On my surface it shows me the photos stored locally but on my laptop it doesn't even show me that.  On my laptop the pictures are in the pictures library.

It is a Preview, so expect issues. I think MS will monitor this forum and collect those issues and fix them later.

I have an even worse problem on my Surface Pro.  When I tap Photos, it says "Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later."  I've rebooted, and tried on another account, but always get the same result.

I can go into Pictures from the Desktop, and there are plenty of pics there.  It's just the Photos app that is hosed.

Same problem. Photos app can see local photos but that's it.

I understand that it's a preview and I'm not upset about it.  I was more curious to see if anyone else was having the same issue and it's obvious that other people are.  Thanks.

On my laptop when I open Photos I see all the folders but whenever I click on any of them it takes me right back to the Start menu.

just saw this on the verge. http://www.theverge.com/2013/7/3/4489454/windows-8-1-photos-app-facebook-flickr-integration  Hopefully they will at least let you view photos from skydrive.  The photo app is extremely limited right now.
