I can't figure it out? is it only possible on the browser to do that? if so, it's a deal breaker for me.

    Hi @Steven,

    Thank you so much for bringing it up.

    At the moment, the OneDrive app on iOS (iPhone and iPad) doesn’t offer the same “Add to Favorites” option for files or folders as you might be used to on the web version. The Favorites feature (with the star icon) is mainly available in the OneDrive/SharePoint web experience, and the mobile app hasn’t brought that exact functionality across yet.

    I completely understand that this can feel like a limitation and not the most convenient experience for users. Just to share openly, this is a user-to-user support forum, and I’m simply a fellow user like yourself, not part of the internal product team. So even though I truly understand your need and would like to help, I don’t have a way to change or implement the feature directly.

    My goal here is just to share what’s currently supported so you don’t have to spend extra time searching for a workaround for a feature that isn’t available yet. I really appreciate your understanding.

    That said, if this is something you feel would make a big difference for your use case, I’d really recommend submitting feedback here: OneDrive · Community

    This is the official portal where your feedback goes directly to the product team and can be considered for future improvements, rather than being limited to a user-to-user forum like this one.

    Once you’ve shared your feedback there, feel free to drop the link in the comments here. I’d be more than happy to support it by voting, which can help increase visibility and show additional support from the community.

    Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts, and I truly hope this feature will be introduced in the near future.
