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.

    Please reinstate Chromecast support. Without it OneDrive is severely restricted as a place to store photos. Thank you.

    Doesn't matter how old the product maybe with a flick of a switch and opening keys that are timed makes it the best all around app good things come back to those whom have waited

    I only started using one drive to make use of casting for my collection of some 10,000 photos. Removal of this functionality is a serious downgrade to the usefulness of the app.

    for me the missing "casting" capability is a good reason to switch to google software. I'm happy to cast and show pictures to my friends on a big tv and, halas, I can't do it with ms one drive.

    It is ridiculous that this feature was removed! What excuse is there for not supporting such a commonly used feature? It is a MAJOR reason to move to a competitor such as Google; which works awesome!

    Are you just CRAZY or what? You had the feature, and you cancelled it. Why? Why??? I'm wondering why tha **** I wuould have to continue paying for this!

    Chromecast is such a universal equipment to project on TV and make presentations. Please re-introduce Chromecast to OneDrive especially for photos and videos. Without the function, all photos stored cannot be projected which is frustrating.

    Really needed cast option directly form one drive photos and videos to Chromecast devices. Please help.

    I paid for OneDrive after seeing an article online saying this was supported. I then moved all my files to OneDrive, and now I find the feature is gone. So yes I would like it introduced because it’s such a basic feature that’s missing.

    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.
