I want to thank you for your quick responses! I appreciate that. Over the last 40 in business, finding folks that communicate well is the exception than the norm. 
I guess I am not following on the create a remote for Photos. Is there a way to create this by looking at the URI returned by MS when opening the OneDrive Photos "folder" (I assume that is a SharePoint/Azure Blob storage item). I have some familiarity with SharePoint, as a previous heavy SharePoint Business user. But my experience with building connection strings is limited. I assume you are leveraging MSGraph or other API calls.
