One Drive has Suddenly Changed on iPadOS 18.3!!!

I use MS365/One Drive on my iPad.  The other day, I opened One Drive and must have hit “Photos” bc that is where it went. I never use that option. I didn’t know how to get back to my files!!!!! But, I found the answer - go to the top of the screen and choose “Files”.   Which I did, but now the “template” is totally changed, the controls are at the top of the screen, and they’re different.  


Also, I can no longer drag and drop files/photos from OneDrive to iCloud or vice versa using Split Screen (I used to be able to drag and drop photos or files easily, now I have to go to “Share” and it’s more steps).


And, when I rename a file that template has changed - it’s a small box that is hard to see the file name  or type in and there is no “x” to delete the entire name.


It feels like I accidentally went into OneDrive photos and suddenly everything changed, it did not change the day I updated 18.3. I want the old view/functionality back. How can I get that?  I am on iPadOS 18.3 and OneDrive 16.3.5 thank you!

iPad Pro, iPadOS 18

The OneDrive app for me has stopped working completely under iPadOS 18.3.2. The app seems very unstable. I tried to access my OneDrive files and the app froze. I deleted and reinstalled the app and it opened to my photos which I was able to see. When I selected “Files” the app froze once again.


I have signed out multiple times, deleted and reinstalled multiple times and still the same issue. I had a programming professor in college that once said, “If engineers built bridges the way that software developers wrote programs, nobody would drive over them!” This is a great example of that.


Can I get my old OneDrive back? I used it every day for my work and now it is completely broken!
