OneDrive sync questions

My free 50Gb Dropbox offer expired so I'm now using OneDrive amongst others.
When I used Dropbox the syncing created a mirror image of what i had on my PC and updated as necessary.
With OneDrive you can do the same more or less, but the AllPhotos (sometimes referred to as camera roll) IE the pictures I've snapped with the phone, appear on my online OneDrive page but doesn't create a folder locally, which isn't helpful.
I read somewhere that deleting the OneDrive folder on the PC and starting OneDrive again would fix this.
I'll try that, meanwhile any suggestions or is my phone considered to be the syncing device.
