Can't see folders in the Group files list
- Nov 29, 2016
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'.
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

Hi Frans.
I agree with you: it should be called "Recent files".
Best regards.
