Open the Control panel, select "Folder Options" and then in the "View" tab untick the "Hid file extensions for known file types".

I meant how to show them in OneDrive in the Cloud not from my PC. Sometimes users access OneDrive location when they are away from the PC that is set up with syncing to OneDrive.

Thank you,
Then you can't change the view as far as I know. You need the applet to get the full functionality.
to what applet are you referring?
The OneDrive Applet that you install on the PC and which syncs the data in the cloud with your PC.
Thank you for your response, I may be not fully understanding what you are meaning by your statement, "You need the applet to get the full functionality" but you do not need the OneDrive applet to see the file extensions on a Windows PC, that is a function of the PC's OS.

As far as being able to view the OneDrive file extensions in the Cloud, you stated you do not know of a way to change this, correct?

Does anyone else have any additional information on viewing the file extensions of OneDrive documents in the cloud?

Thank you,
