I opened my onedrive app on my phone but I can now only see photo files, there is no obvious way to switch to see my files. How do I see my regular folders and files? Thank you.

    He was correct....FILES next to PHOTOS solves the issue.

    Hi,

    I suspect that the challenge is due to a usability and accessibility issue.

    At the top of the Android OneDrive folder, you likely see from left to right

    1. Your avatar
    2. Photos
    3. Files

    But the words ”Photos Files” are set side by side, bleeding for many people into the phrase "Photo files".

    If you click on the word ”Files”, you'll see your files. Microsoft could fix this very easily by simply setting the two words apart visually so that it's more obvious that there are two different repositories of data.

    That's it! My eyes were seeing it as 'Photo files" instead of "Photo' and "Files". Thank you so much! You have relieved a lot of stress from this!

    Thanks Vicki, the same with me. It's so simple, but not obvious. It works!
