Favorite folders and files
Can you add a feature to add favourite folders or files for quick access. Not like the recent folder. Like a list of bookmarks that never changes.
Thanks

We’re working on a feature to flag folders and files to access later. This feature will be for commercial accounts (business) initially.

Is this something non-existent for now? How am I supposed to collaborate with my team on shared folders without this? Please make this available as soon as possible.

I use several folders and navigate between them. Having a tree is invaluable to enable this. Not having the tree is pushing me to look at other alternatives.

Suggest to add Favourites list before all folders view, for example add option Add to Favorites in submenu/action list for items
Then it will be first list on top of all folders, or have switched Views: All/Favorites
It's annoying every time after opening app dig into same folder, too many steps, would be convenient quickly access most used folders. -

It's so stupid. It used to be possible on windows phone and they took one of the most useful features away with no explanation.

It would be really useful if recents would be sorted in order of most recent access.
Also would be good if I could star my favourite files and see in a favourite list.

It is particularly important for files shared with me, where I can't organize anything (not even in folders)

The lack of the navigation ability from the left pane essentially makes the left pane useless. It is painful to only be able to navigate in the main area. It makes no sense to have it if it will only allow me to see Files which will take me back to the root.
Additionally, it is painful that I can't change the column widths, and the Name gets shortened and I see all this unused white space on the screen! -

Really want a way to mark things as Favorites so it's simple to get to frequently used documents and folders ("Recently used" bridges for now)

Is not Delve the answer on this?

Although there doesn't appear to be a way to designate a folder as a 'Favorite,' there is a category on the OneDrive for Business portal for 'Recent' files, which may solve some of the issues that some clients are experiencing.

Google Drive has the right idea with the facility to "Star" or "favourite" folders, to prevent having to click through several steps to get to a regularly used folder. Lets hope Microsoft catches up quickly as this is a big downfall that they aren't providing something like this.
Also, having been able to colour code folders in Google, this would also be an ideal feature for Microsoft to add to OneDrive as soon as possible. -

Microsoft need to work this one out quickly. Big lag behind in terms of efficiency compared to Google Drive. Unfortunately this subject is showing up all over the place so I hope Microsoft take note of all the comments and votes.

I agree wholeheartedly. just moved from Google Drive to One Drive and am missing this feature and the ability to colour code files immensely. Microsoft need to work this one out quickly. Big lag behind in terms of efficiency comparred to Google Drive.

Having just moved from Google Drive to One Drive have noticed that there is no facility to "star" or make specified folders a favourite. This is a necessary feature particularly for efficiency if you need to drill down a number of levels to get to a folder. Another great feature is the ability to change the colours of folders - this is a great feature to define and group folders relating to a specified area. Great for differentiation between departments.

Users should be able to 'favourite' a file/folder and have a separate list of shortcuts to 'favourited' files and folders so we can get to our most frequently used items quickly, even if they're buried seven folders deep.

I have most of my personal and work files in onedrive, so I have a complicated folder structure.
Please add the ability within the app to 'pin' or 'favorite' certain folders or files to the onedrive app launch screen for quick access.
Thanks!
