1 There should be an option to set the default view (list/grid) 2 Grid view should be more usable, like viewing info or download

FFFFing YES PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't get it. Who are those interface designers who couldn't figure this out in the first place.
Onedrive is pretty bad experience overall. Anyone care to recommend better optios?

Six years to make a simple submenu (Menu/Default view/[Grid,List]) and no answer yet.
Just WOW, Microsoft.

Dear Microsoft, Why hasn't a default view on Android OneDrive been added yet? This was initially requested over 5 (FIVE) years ago?

I have had to pay for an annual fee as my capacity had increased without my knowledge... I was stressed and tried to filter down my pictures before the deadline given. But this was made harder because of the formatting (a way of making peeps subscribe - I suspect?) I was happy to pay but I feel for others given short timeframe and losing vital memories if they are not in a position to extend/pay or transfer to another device. Not very compassionate given the task and difficulties to go through the process! I was lucky but still not happy about it....

Please add functionality to choose default view (list or grid of icons), also for iOS

Four. Freaking. Years. Ago.
Still, no response has been provided by Microsoft.
Come on! OneDrive is a great tool and it integrates with Windows amazingly! I would like the web version to let us save View mode preferences, so that I can easily upload and view files for later... -

I agree! I need to make List the default view!

I've found a work around that has given me the list view upon opening OneDrive. I open the app, change the view to "List", then save this page as a favorite. When I click on this favorite tab, it opens in list view every time, and so do the subsequent folders that I select.

Don't waste your time...MS doesn't give a R*ts A**. I've ;posted this comment for 2 years running minimum. And this comment will likely be removed despite my being a shareholder for 30+ years.

The "app" generation of media is the most poorly designed out of all the generations of UI design

For viewing images grid view having info and other extra info polluting the screen would not be good.

Yes, it ****** me off because I hate big tiles and other cloud services allow to turn them off with one click!

I just downloaded One Drive after switching from iCloud. Very disappointed that there is no option to choose 'list' view for all files. Having to go into each file and changing the view option is a very very poor design. It would be great to see this changed soon.

Unbelievably, a usable version of OneDrive can still be downloaded FROM MICROSOFT at https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=248256. If you install it, you will get a solemn warning FROM MICROSOFT that this program does not come from the Microsoft Store - do you wish to install it anyway? Just say yes. You can add curses afterwards.

Agree 100% that an option shoulde be provided to select a default folder view. Having to manually select list/grid on every folder, and then waiting for a screen refresh, is a poor design.

If I need to access Onedrive from my iPhone it's because I need a particular file *now, not 5 minutes from now. Having to reset the view to details for *each directory/sub-directory and sort the view to that which I usually need for file location defeats my use of the service. I now rarely opt to use the service given the its cumbersome and time consuming file location ability that is, for whatever odd reason, a persistent design feature. If I were sarcastic, I'd say it's simply MS continuing its decades old mantra--it's our way or the highway. Mark (a customer since the first iteration of Windows and a longtime shareholder).

This option is available on the internet browser and the macOS but when it comes to iOS unfortunately they decided to not add this option. Both Apple iCloud Drive and Google Drive have this already and at this point I don’t see a reason to not have systemwide order by name or date and systemwide view as list and thumbnail available...!

This posted 2015! Here's praying I live long enough to ever see this implemented. Maybe MS could open source this to cope?
