I hear your frustration, and you’re absolutely right that “Create or Upload” in the upper‑right is a departure from long‑standing Microsoft patterns. Your input helps us understand where this change feels inconsistent or unintuitive, and that’s exactly the kind of signal we want as we refine this experience.
To give a bit of context: we made this design choice to balance several competing factors. Placing “Create or Upload” in the upper right allows us to keep the main command area cleaner, avoid command collisions on narrow layouts, and ensure the most common “starting actions” remain discoverable regardless of screen size or content density.
That said, we know that UI consistency across M365 is critical, especially for people who work across OneDrive and SharePoint all day. We're actively evaluating how this placement feels in real‑world usage. Feedback like yours helps us assess whether the benefits outweigh the cost of introducing a new pattern, and whether we need to tune the design, provide more visual affordances, or consider alternative placements.
