How to assign a drive letter to Microsoft OneDrive in Windows 10:

I suggest a separate configuration file for each collection, which would
have separate digiKam databases. When running digiKam, you would specify
the config file. It can be run with a shortcut, but it is easier to
illustrate with a start command:
start "digiKam"  digikam.exe --config dkrc_work
start "digiKam"  digikam.exe --config dkrc_personal

You would go through a separate First Run Dialog for each collection. For
each collection, store the databases in the corresponding OneDrive account,
or in  a separate folder on the laptop (such as dk_work and dk_personal).
For the sake of performance, you should store the  thumbnails database on
local storage (the laptop). If you store databases other than thumbnails on
the laptop, you should periodically perform a backup.
