Can't see folders in the Group files list
AFAIK this is the intended behavior: the new File experience is in practice a flat list of recent files.
If you want to have a structured view of the connected Sharepoint doclib you have to choose "Browse the Library'.

- Dislike this though. Would like to see maybe a choice. Lots of teams/groups still live and breathe in folders. SharePoint people have fought this battle for years, (folders versus metadata). This new Files view says screw both you guys, we wont use either!
I see it in this way: it's just a recent file list (including also files sent to the Group by email, which is fine) that is at hand while in the email client (i.e. OWA today and, I guess, Outlook tomorrow...). If what I want is a full blown access to the library, then I go to the actual library.
Otherwise, such view in OWA would be a redundant duplicate of the library view in SharePoint, don't you think so?
Hi Salvatore,
Why isn't it called the "recent files" list then? Why an extra step to see all information including folders? I think many users (what I hear from them) are confused by this choice. Can you reconsider your perspective on this issue?
Kind regards
