Show thumbnails for offloaded image and video files on Windows
Currently when files are offloaded on Windows, there's no image or video thumbnails generated, so you either need to use the web app, or need to re-download entire folders of files back to the PC just to be able to find a specific file.
It would be much better if these worked like OneDrive and iCloud Photos where the files are stored online-only but are still able to generate local thumbnails for quick and convenient browsing.
Ideally this should also support modern image and video formats (AVIF/AV1, HEIF/HEVC, WEBP etc) as well as just the basic JPG and PNGs as well.

Yeah I'm surprised there is no capability here. I like to make family videos of past pictures/videos and need thumbnails to be able to browse quickly without having to download everything. It was easy on Onedrive.

Wow it's really insane that there are no thumbnails for files not currently on the device, this is REALLY needed for people like me who use a Proton Drive folder as their screenshot location
