If you have a preview or thumbnail view set for your OneDrive folder, you should see thumbnails for all files. 

If you are not seeing thumbnails, check these features:

  1. If you're using a web browser, ensure the OneDrive.com file viewer is set to TilesLearn how.

  2. If you're using a PC/Mac, ensure your computer's File Explorer/Finder view is set to medium-sized icons (or larger).

  3. If File Explorer/Finder thumbnails still don't show, enable "Always keep on this device" for the file.

Note: No previews/thumbnails are available for PDFs or images larger than 100MB.
