Photos from D: drive not showing is not Up in Photos App

I have 2 sites set up in my library of images.  C:\Pictures and D:\Pictures.  All the pictures I have put in the directory C:\Pictures immediately appear in the new Photos app.  However the photos on my drive D: not will appear in the same Photos app if the folder are in are included in my library of images.   I had actually just a live remote session with Microsoft Support and I was told that it is a limitation of windows 8, which will appear only images located on the C: drive in the Photos app.

It's * really * the case?  I have a very small SSD drive that I use for installed applications.  All data such as photos, videos and documents are stored on my drive D: (terrabyte), so this means basically I can't use new applications of Photos or videos?

Hi Boscarelli,

Yes, the content on the drive can be moved to a folder in the picture library. Given that you do not want to be able to access an external drive using the photo app, use your comments to submit your suggestion.

  1. Open the photo app
  2. Press the Windows key + C
  3. Select settings
  4. Select your comments
  5. Select I want to suggest a way to do something better
  6. Select Next
  7. Add your comment
  8. Select submit
Well, it is not an external drive.  The drive D:\ is an internal hard drive connected via SATA.   In windows 7, I had moved my personal files on the disk D:\Pictures.  So when the folder navigation D:\Pictures actually appear in Explorer as my images since it is the default image library folder.

I have moved all content of D:\Pictures to D:\TestPictures and added the file TestPictures to the photo library, and now my pictures are appearing in the Photos app.  They did not immediately so I guess that they do not show up until the files have been indexed.
So the D:\Pictures folder was not indexed (he was reported to BE indexed for several days) or windows 8 has been confused by move me my personal folders on windows 7 to a new directory and moving them to D:\TestPictures solved the problem.
Thanks for your reply though!

* Edit * it's silly that I can't close my own post or mark my answer as the answer!
