OneDrive Photo's Library Error 3111

Hi,


About a year ago, I set up a system Photos Library pointing to a OneDrive Location on my Mac. My hope was this would work as a iCloud-like alternative (it had been working great until recently). I have not opened my library for a couple of months and am now getting the following error:



Is anyone familiar with this error code? I am currently downloading the full photos library package from one drive and hope to restore the photos library locally.


Thank you!

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.1

One Drive is not an appropriate location for a Photos Library. It cannot be used as an alternative to iCloud. Having a library in an inappropriate location can damage the Library and cause dataloss. The library needs to reside on a local disk (not a network share) formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or APFS.
