Hi there
Apologies if this topic has already been covered but I couldn't find anything.
How do I show a "folder" column instead of the "full path". Due to my organization's OneDrive name, the folder path is very long and I can't see the containing folder, just the first part of the path. I would like to just see the highest level folder.
Many thanks in advance
PS Everything is the probably the single best productivity enhancer I have ever used, so thank you very much for it!
