Displaying thumbnails in Finder on an apple iPad

Hey,


As the title says I'm trying to have thumbnails displayed in Finder on my Apple pad. The folder is a google drive folder. Is it possible to have thumbnails for that folder?


Thank you in advance,

The Google Drive App provides integration of Google Drive with the native Files App. What you see is most likely a Google App limitation.


As such, you might be best advised to seek assistance from Google’s support resources.

Ah yes, my bad. Indeed, i mean iPad's Files App.


Thank you for the suggestion. The thing is though that it is set to display as Icons. What I see is a placeholder icon for the photo and once I have opened the photo, a thumbnail appears. Preferably I'd like the thumbnails to load immediately without having to open every photo individually.
