Windows Central Question

Hi there,
I've recently bought a Lumia 640. I wanted to go all-Windows, so use OneDrive to share stuff between laptop and phone etc. I already have a large amount of stuff on OneDrive, including a lot of pictures. I can access my OneDrive from my Lumia via both the OneDrive app and the pic app, see all folders and can even see there are files there. I can open PDFs etc. from the onedrive app without problems.

However, when I want to open, save or do whatever with a picture, it doesn't work. Pictures are all greyed out (just a grey square), just like the picture folders. When I save a picture to my phone and open it using the File app, it's just a black screen.

Even weirder, when I download exactly the same picture from my Synology drive (which is synced with Onedrive), it does work!

Anyone any clue as to why Onedrive is not working properly?

Thanks!!
