.txt File Functionality
Currently you can view notepad (.txt) files but you can't modify them. It would be great if you could modify them. I often use these files to take notes that don't take up much space and that will sync across my devices

Show Site Icons
Our sharepoint sites all have custom icons/logos. Yes the onedrive app on iOS just shows green and pink squares.
Any chance it can display the sites custom icon?86 votes -
iPad app redesign (my concept with pictures)
the concept is mostly about visuals. i see OneDrive as a cloud, known for it's user-friendly simple and pretty interface, feature-rich apps and powerful productive tools.
82 votesGreat idea. We’re considering how we want to evolve our app design for iPads.

Zoom out in photo to moment, month, year
Zoom out on photo collection like on windows phone.
I would like to be able to zoom out to month, place, year, etc.
When you have several thousand photos it is impossible to use the app to find an old picture because it means an endless flipping.
The iphone Photos way Collections is OK. But you can do better than that.81 votes -
Add vertical scrolling and bookmarks to pdf view
I normally use the Documents app by Readdle for PDF viewing and annotation. Now that you have added PDF markup to OneDrive (for which I thank you!) if you added vertical scrolling as an option for viewing PDF's in the settings, and if you added support for bookmarks in PDF's, I could probably abandon the use of Documents by Readdle and switch over completely to OneDrive for most of my mobile PDF needs.

Folders download
Suppose I have many folders and each folders has sub folders then each folders has more than 10 to 50 files, in current situation I have to click each file inside sub folder to download it , what I suggest is once I click in main folder either to download it automatically or give option as button to say "do you want to download the folders with files " if say yes then downloaded it if not then just download sub folders as you do now
Click then click then click to reach files or my solution to pop message…76 votes -
Document editing
Editing documents with apple pen with a recent update does not include the option of inserting arrows, text boxes, shapes. This was very useful, i do not understand why they would take it out of the app.

Better editing
I would like to have back the ability to make circles, draw straight lines to edit my PDFs like before the last update. The apps was perfect for the kind of work I do and not having to pay a LOT of money to do it. Like in my photo please please bring it back

PDF Tool
The PDF Tools (the mark up tool, bookmark and annotation tabs) worked extremely well before the latest update. The upgrade has removed a lot of the functionality that existed - a moveable tool bar, easy to find pages that were either bookmarked or annotated, the ability to draw straight lines with ease, etc.
The current pdf viewer and tools seem to be retrograde and make the process of working on pdfs MUCH slower.

Allow copying of files
I see options to move files though I don't see "copy". A common usage is to copy files into a shared folder. The recipient then simply moves them out of the shared folder into their own folder. I know the files have been received when they disappear.
Ideally you should be able to select multiple files (or folders) and copy them somewhere from within the app.

Fingerprint authentication
Please make it stop! I have to sign in almost every single time I open the app. It is especially annoying with 2 factor authentication. Please let us use a PIN or even better Touch Auth for iOS (fingerprint).

Sorting
When I open any folders or sub folders, I have to always keep changing the grid view and sort as per my requirement. My sorting is also in acceding order. So example we have files 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15. This is the proper sorting order but, in one drive it happens like the below
1 10 12 13 14 15 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
It has to be done in proper order and moreover in the main screen when I choose what sort and grid…

Progress bar during uploads
Knowing how many files have been uploaded is helpful, but when you are uploading either many files of varying sizes or one large file - it would be more helpful to have a progress bar so I can try to estimate time remaining and be sure that the file is actually being uploaded.

Faster Thumbnails
I'm a big fan of the camera roll upload feature of the one drive app. However, when scrolling through photos it takes a frustratingly long time for the thumbnails to load, and I spend a lot of time staring at blank squares. Having the ability to store thumbnails on the phone or to quickly download smaller-sized thumbnails would make file-browsing significantly easier.

File Renaming
This latest version of OneDrive for iPad has robbed users of the ability to rename a file or folder by just adjusting a character or number in the existing title. E.g. by adjusting a date or adding an additional letter. You now have to type out the new title in full every time.
This is a retrograde step and will cause many users much frustration.62 votes -
Display file extension on iOS OneDrive app
Show file extension as part of file name, not only on file detail (which for some reason does not work anyway). Without file extension, it is quite difficult (== impossible) to see which file is which if it has same name and icon is not known for both files.
Following this (mistakenly resolved) idea: https://onedrive.uservoice.com/forums/262982-onedrive/suggestions/6707554-display-full-file-names-within-the-ios-onedrive-ap

Multiple Personal Accounts
Hello,
It would be nice to have the ability to access several personal accounts, one personal and one business doesn't always meet the needs.
Thanks!
