Support for RAW/NEF/DNG photos (especially thumbnails)
Onedrive.com supports RAW photo files, but the Onedrive for Business photo gallery doesn't.
(the consumer product supports professional photo formats and the professional product only support consumer formats. Disappointing...)

We’ve recently updated the file formats we support. See this blog post for additional details.

Useful feature to add to OneDrive - Provide support for RAW files (.ORF, etc) preview, just like Amazon, Google, etc do. Do you have an ETA?

Hello! You guys really need to consider adding a feature to view raw photos (.NEF). It's been long enough without this feature...

I’ve waited hoping that this basic functionality would be added to one drive but it seems there is a total lack of responsiveness. It’s useless to me to to save my files on OneDrive and then have to download them all again on my iPad to be able to view or edit them. Will be switching to iCloud over the holidays - hoping for a small miracle that this will be fixed before I have to go through that process and move all of my photos.

This is my number one pain point with OneDrive. I can't find any of my pictures unless they are synced locally.
Let's say I'm on my phone and want to show a friend a picture I took from a vacation a couple years ago. Can't do it.
Let's say I want to use the Xbox One app on my TV to show my friends my pictures from our wedding. Can't do it.

Windows 10 supports .dng. Why not make it seamless.

We are in 2017 and a cloud service does not support .NEF and other raw formats for preview.
How can this be possible?

guys,
Us photographer deal with only raw images. it's been over a year, what is the hold in development, is it not on the priority.. a large portion of the community uses one drive because you give us 1tb don't tell me all the raw images that we need to view is not allowed and in your development cycle this is not a priority.. Come on guys its a product development company that have tier 1 products used by common consure of both business type and non - business type. We need an ETA on this fix.

At the very least, please include them into Camera Roll sync. OneDrive pulls the JPEGs from my Galaxy S7 but leaves DNGs from the same folder.

Finally the bug on the Onedrive for Business website has been solved, at least for NEF files!
Instead of error messages, thumbnails are created correctly!It would be nice if thumbnails were visible in the app too.

I can open NEF files in IOS one drive app and can even edit them in Snapseed. Now my galaxy S7 looks primitive

Without a thumbnail preview for the dng files my windows phone takes it completely nueters the usefulness and value of the camera roll and onedrive. This is not a aesthetic request.
