Thanks for clarifying that! If you open your mobile app, and go to your Files tab, there’s a little square icon on the other side of the “Modified” header.

Regarding the desktop app, the thumbnails you see there are determined by your OS. Can you let me know what’s your computer’s current OS version?

The tiny thumbnails seems like intentionally annoying. Will they get bigger if I spend more money? Also, I'm trying to upload things and they never seem to have showed up so I do it again and finally theres like fifty versions, but the thumbnails are so tiney I dont know what swhta. Then I delete them but theyre still there.
Can you recommend a competitor? Seems like easy fixes to me. Chat gpt knows python if your team is struggling
