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.

    Glad it helped! I have to thank a previous user for this advice - for some reason, it's not intuitive.

    My issue was different from most of the replies I got. I had set all my files to reside on OneDrive. As soon as I set a few files to be available on my device, the "Files" tab showed up, along with Photos and Albums.

    Thank everyone for your answers.

    That was simple and incredibly useful! Thank you. What a bad new interface... it says "photo files" and we have to guess that it is two options!

    I'm not sure why a solution can't be posted for everyone to see. Most replies to my inital query were to click on "Files" at the top. I didn't have that option. The only choices were "Albums" and "Photos." My solution was that I had set all my OneDrive files to be only available from OneDrive, and none on my local devices. Once I marked a few files to be locally available, I then had the "Files" option available. That gave me access to all my files on OneDrive.

    Thanks to all for your contributions
