pmalec I have done this before. I created a folder on onedrive and I was able to get my gallery photos to sync to a specific folder. unfortunately, I had to factory reset my phone and now I can't get it setup again.
But, there is a way to choose a folder rather than just have it update to general photo bucket.
Would love if anyone can tell us how to do that.

Hi, have you found a way? I'm also very interested.

I have not, but i dug a little deeper and it seems like OneDrive is not connected to Gallery (android) on my phone properly. Under gallery settings,
Connect to OneDrive, i do not get a submenu, but an option to connect again to OneDrive.
When i try to connect, i get a server error.
It is kind of half connected. It copies the camera roll, but totally ignores albums.
It might be a new bug. Microsoft no longer has phone support or stores, so i have been unsuccessful contacting them.
So i think i will wait for an Android software upgrade and try it again.
Anyone else see either of these issues.
