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.

Allow pages or docs (especially PDF's) to be saved from Safari or iBooks to OneDrive. Cannot see any way to do this at this time.
No way with the iPhone to save documents or pages from the web or iBooks to OneDrive. This would be valuable for research compilation, reference sharing, etc. Evernote and Dropbox-like accessibility.

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.

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

Pinned folders
Hi there, I have a good folder structure in one drive, one handy feature would be pinned or quick access folders on the app. There are some folders I frequently use that are deep into the structure, which is the layout I need, but being able to pin them for easy access on main screen would be great.
Thanks.

iOS 12 Shortcuts and Siri Shortcuts support for Onedrive
currently with the final released version of iOS12 only 'iCloud Drive' and 'Dropbox' are supported cloud storage services.
Please add Onedrive as a supported storage option for shortcuts (allows automatic 'save a file', 'get link', 'append file' etc).
Thank you!

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).

Offline access and sort by 'Custom' option
Please
1. Give an option in each file to be stored permanently on the device so that it can be viewed offline and need not to re-download it while online.Make this option as a toggle button on every file to switch between online-offline mode.
2. Then include a sorting option based on online-offline files.
3. Re-introduce the sort by 'Custom' option as earlier version.Thanks for listening and waiting to see these features rolled out real soon.

Display folder paths in search results
Would be great if you could display the folder paths in the search results. I sometimes keep many copies of the same file on one drive for backup purposes and when searching in the iOS app I can't see which file is in which folder from the search results.

"Go To Page No.***" for PDF files
You DO have excellent PDF viewer and annotater, but it really misses the function to go to some particular page! Scrolling long files, repeatedly is embarrassing indeed!

OneDrive on ISO - Annotating PDFs has changed...and now mark-ups look bad
OneDrive has been my goto app for pdf annotations on the iPad. After the last update, though, the annotations menu has completely changed and making mark-ups is tricky (and ugly) - it's like OneDrive is not longer compatible with apple pencil. This diminishes the usability of the app by a lot!

Viewing of file names in OneDrive
Problem:
Not being able to see file names in full.There are two ways to view files in onedrive:
1) icon view (not showing full file names or
2) list view.
List view will have a few columns depending on screen size or rotation (portrait / landscape).
If in portrait it will give one column on a cell phone (not showing full file name), when turning to landscape it show two columns, still not showing full file names.It will be nice to have an option to choose how many columns you want to see on a screen in portrait…

Free up Space
Google Photos app on iOS has a free up space button that will automatically delete local copies of photos and videos after they have been successfully uploaded to Google Drive. I use OneDrive to backup my photos and videos from my phone. Would be great to have similar option in Onedrive app.

On this day
Can we get an "On this day" feature in the app that will send a daily email or push notification of all photos on this day in prior years?
I see the option on the site, but can't figure out how to get it to send a notification or email. I don't check the actual site every day, but usually check the app.

“Delete empty Tags”
Delete the empty tags. After deleting the useless (usually automatically generated) tags from my pics, they still exist under the tags tab. I need to delete the empty tags - the ones that have no pics assigned to them. The tagging system is useless if I can’t set it up with MY tags.
