Reduce visual spacing between folders and files in the Android app

Android app displays quite large visual spaces between folders and files. These large spaces reduce the amount of content visible at once and make the interface feel less compact.

It would be great to have tighter spacing or an option for a more condensed view.

    Hi Dopa​, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

    While you're in the Files tab, could you tap the 𑁔 button and see which view option you have selected there?

    There should be three options, List, Large List, and Grid.

    A screenshot of this would help greatly!

    Of course I have "list" selected. I am attaching a screen shot.

    Thank you
