How can we improve the OneDrive app on Android?

Bring back casting to Chromecast for Mobile devices

Since update 5.29.1 for Android, cast to Chromecast when connected to a Wi-Fi network with a suitable device, was removed without any further notice.
Please fix whatever instability issues you found and let users know what is included in the latest version.
The What is new text is so old and untouched that the best selling point is the introduction of the PIN and no mention to what is removed if you update the app.

    When saving pictures and videos on One Drive It is crusial that Chromecast is available. Otherwise I cannot use One Drive to that purpose

    The main purpose for me to pay for OneDrive is to save and view images. Without Chromecast support this is not at all as convenient.

    the key reason I buy office 365 personal is to save pictures and view them on the other devices including casting on TV. otherwise I would not pay a cents for it.

    I was so angry back in time as i saw that you guys have removed Chromecast support!! WTF! Bring back this important function as soon as possible!! As a customer that pays for your service this is just stupid.

    No fire tv app, no roku app, no Chromecast support. Microsoft wants every TV to have an Xbox connected to it. Time to sideload the Android onedrive app to a fire tv stick.

    Please enable the casting feature on one drive. It made the app a viable utility and productive tool especially for presentations on the big screen. Thanks.

    Useless with onedrive if i´m not able to easy cast on TV.

    If you are not able to find a solution on this in the nearest future then i will leave.

    We cannot connect onedrive with chromecast to watch photo's. While it works good withbgoogle phpto's.

    Please offer a solution.

    This was Microsoft's broken system. Things don't work well, remove it instead of trying very hard to fix it. It has been over a year and still not able to come out with a solution.

    Why remove it. It is very useful. Just because the tech giants fight each other, why take it out on the customer.

    Just when Google and Amazon sort out their differences, now Microsoft has to go to war.
