  2. Files & Folders View as medium or large Icons

    To assist you better, we would suggest that you try to follow the steps below:

    • Open File Explorer.
    • Once you are viewing a folder, right click an empty space within the File Explorer window and select View from the dialogue menu, then choose Large or any icon you wanted to use. Alternatively, you can use the following shortcut keys on the keyboard to
      change your View settings:
    • CTRL + SHIFT + 1 Extra Large
    • CTRL + SHIFT + 2 Large icons
    • CTRL + SHIFT + 3 Medium Icons
    • CTRL + SHIFT + 4 Small Icons
    • CTRL + SHIFT + 5 List
    • CTRL + SHIFT + 6 Details
    • CTRL + SHIFT + 7 Tiles
    • CTRL + SHIFT + 8 Content
    3. Once you have the view set, you can make it the default view for

    every folder.

    4. Click Apply, then click OK.

  3. OneDrive won't synchronize a folder with a large number of files

    OneDrive won't synchronize or upload a folder that contains a large number of files. This problem is persistent, and other people have reported it. What happens is that OneDrive spends a couple of days working (with lots of disk activity but no usage
    of the Internet at all), and then reports that all files and folders are up to date. They are not: the folders are present on OneDrive but the folders are all empty.

    Others have reported the same problem. Someone has offered answers that go off onto irrelevancies. Just to be clear:

    • The issue is not the size of files, the issue is the number of files.
    • The issue is not internet connection speed; the issue is the number of files.
    • The issue is not speed of upload; OneDrive doesn't upload the files at all.
