How do I see when files are added to a shared OneDrive folder?

My colleague has a personal OneDrive hosted on his computer. He has shared some folders with me. How can I see when he's added files to the shared folders?

Apologies for such a boring question.

We used to use Dropbox in my office. It was great. Each day I'd go to the "Events" page and I'd see any files that my coworkers had added to our shared folders.

NOW we've switched to OneDrive, which is awful in so many ways I wont get into here. But my chief concern is, I have no idea when new files are added so I dont know if, say, we got a new insurance policy, or new violations, or whatever, unless my coworker specifically emails me about it.

Short of clicking on every subfolder each day (there are hundreds) and then scanning every file (there are thousands) to see which was added recently, is there any way I can see what files he's added each day? I dont need the pop-up notifications like Dropbox does ("Larry has added a file to marketing!") I just need a list somewhere that I can check daily to see what's new.
