OneDrive Vaults - Thumbnails

Question

Hello,

I am wondering why I can't see the thumbnails in my Personal Vault? Is this a safety thing? Can I deactivate that?
I manage a lot of files in my Personal Vault but it's super difficult when all I see is icons instead of thumbnails.

I have made all of the proper changes to show miniatures/thumbnails in the settings, and it works everywhere except the Personal Vault.

Please help.

Hello Mr.Blue.1!

I understand that you're having trouble viewing thumbnails in your Personal Vault. This is actually a security feature designed to protect your sensitive files from being viewed by unauthorized users. Unfortunately, there is no way to deactivate this feature. However, you can still view your files in list view or by opening them individually.

I know this wasn't the outcome you'd expect, so please provide your experience as feedback to our developers. They'd love to hear from you about what's working well, what's not, and any ideas for improvements, including possible new features and functions. Your contribution will help us improve the user experience for you and all users around the world.

Hi Prince,

Yes.. Ah I see, that's a bummer. That feature is unnecessary as I am the only user of my PC, my files are in a locked vault for a reason, and of course that will be locked as soon as I'm finished doing what I'm doing within the vault.

I can change the layout, sure. But the filenames are not enough to understand what it is unless I open them, every single one...

I hope in the near future this "safety" feature will be selective so it will be possible to turn it on and off as you please.

But thank you for the information and the link! I will send a feedback and hold my thumbs in hopes of having this feature selective. Thank you,

Have a wonderful evening!

Best Regards,
Morgan
