Bring back Check Out/Check In function in new OneDrive interface
The "classic" OneDrive for Business UI allowed users to Check Out/Check In documents; please bring it back! This is a hugely important feature for some of my clients; they use it to add comments to document versions and to minimize the editing chaos that can happen on shared documents. This option is still there when they switch back to classic mode, so the functionality is obviously still there on the back end, but the new UI gives no way to get to it. Please fix this before forcing everyone onto the new UI for good!

Annotate shared PDFs on the web
I recently got invited to annotate a PDF shared with me (editing enabled) via OneDrive. Unfortunately this isn´t possible yet; I had to download a 20 Mb file, annotate it in Adobe Reader, reupload it to my own OneDrive, send a link...
Please implement collaboration features on annotating PDFs like it is possible in Word Online!

Enable to adjust video speed on playback
There is no option to adjust playback speed, which is really a must have when watching long videos. This is a common feature that we see in Youtube and some other leading video sites as well.

Option to disable Skype in OneDrive.
In OneDrive I work with documents. It is annoying to see notifications from Skype there, especially when I need to refresh a page every time to remove that orange dot.

Sharing between a OneDrive for business account and a OneDrive personal account
When a file or folder is shared from a OneDrive for Business account to a OneDrive personal account the files should appear in the Shared folder.
It is ridiculous that the only entry-point for the recipient to access these files is the email containing the share link.
This is fundamental functionality for OneDrive for business to ever convincingly replace Dropbox shadow IT within an organisation.

Allow files to be transferred between Microsoft accounts
Sometimes a person switches Microsoft accounts or wants to merge two existing Microsoft accounts. This means they need to move their files too. Providing a way to transfer ownership of files and folders from one Microsoft account to another would make the process much easier (meaning they don't have to download then reupload the files but can instead just use the Web site).

Recover files deleted from bin or deleted after 30 days
Offer a File Recovery option or as a paid service for files excluded from bin and deleted automatically from bin after 30 days.
Provided as a premium service or paid per incident, it would be an extraordinary selling point and advantage compared with other cloud services!
There is a business opportunity being lost in here!Thanks,

Add the ability to scroll back (and forward) through my photos in the 'On This Day' function...
Love the idea that I can see photos taken/dated 'today' from 1 year ago, 3 years ago etc etc all on one page, but the page is only available for 'that day' see screenshot. Can we have a left/right arrows on this header to scroll back and forward to any day we choose. Viewing the On This Day feature on my phone while at work, and would love to go back and review those photos/share them etc a day later on my pc/online, but alas this is impossible.
Or even better would be a calendar picker to see 'all photos…

Schedule sync frequency for designated files.
large files with numerous small changes are very slow in the application due to the frequency of the sync. Attempted to place accounting data files on one drive, but it will sync the entire file after every entry. This made it unusable in the cloud. If sync only occurred upon closing the application, it would allow for data sharing among devices. Incremental sync might also solve this issue. Thanks

Pool 5TB across accounts in a O365 Home plan rather than allocating 1TB per user
I paid $100 for O365 home for five users, but host most of our family's photos and content in my OneDrive. It would really make sense if this came out of everyone's allocation.
Please change O365 Home plans so that there's 5TB shared/pooled storage--per plan--rather than 1TB per user.

More storage options - Up to 10TB plan
Please provide more storage options above the 1TB, as it's not enough and the lack of options is pushing users away to other services.
Adding 3 new Office plans, shouldn't be too complicated:
2TB - $£
5TB - £$
10TB - $$£At least users will have an option!
Also if an user buy the 5 licences Office, why not allow him to stack subscriptions on the same Microsoft account?

Password of shared files in OneDrive for Business
Similar to OneDrive-Personal it would be great if the "Set a password" feature on shared files (https://support.office.com/en-us/article/share-onedrive-files-and-folders-9fcc2f7d-de0c-4cec-93b0-a82024800c07#OSType=OneDrive-_Personal) could be included in OneDrive for Business please.

Fetch an entire folder from a connected PC
Individual files can already be download, or "fetched", from a PC with the OneDrive app through the webapp. Unfortunately, sometimes I need an entire folder, with many files or even other folders within it, and as of now I have to download each file one-by-one. I would like the ability to download an entire folder, much the same way you can to regular synced folders, if it's possible.

Support MKV
I understand you declined this issue in a previous post, so I'm reopening it here. This is important to your users and saying you are focusing on the "most common" formats is not a reasonable response for most of us. Please reconsider or expand upon your reasoning for not supporting this.

Automatically upload Outlook.com attachments to OneDrive
if I send an email to onedrive@outlook.com or any email ID finalized by Microsoft from my registered onedrive email iD, then attached file in my email automatically gets uploaded to my oneDrive cloud.
Example: Let's say my email ID is xyz@hotmail.com and I am using OnDrive using the same email ID ( i.e xyz@hotmail.com ). Now I send an email from xyz@outlook.com with an attached file to onedrive@outlook.com then this attached file automatically gets uploaded to my OneDrive storage.
