I want to see iCloud files on the iCloud.com (online) as a list

Well, it doesn't stop files being portable, technically. But it does when it is hard to read/find the content you are looking for. For the most part in iCloud.com web, the icons are meaning-less, it is just a blue blob taking much of the valuable space. This makes it harder to get to the small text (which at time get cropped due to the limited viewing limited by the icon at times). It is a user experience based matter, resulting less productivity, when you need the content via the browser. Being a cloud drive, it need to play its part. Rest of the providers already do this seamlessly. Not fair to limit the Apple users, just because they are loyal to the brand.
