This!
So much this.

When you know a certain file has been shared, but it was quite a while ago and you can't remember exactly when, it's very hard to find it back. Particularly in busy rooms.
In the 'old' app you just click on the room name, and you'll find the option to list all files shared in that room. The new X app does provide the option to list polls, just as the old app does, but the option to list shared files is not there yet. Listing files seems to be a more commonly used feature than listing polls, so hopefully that option will be added as well.

There needs to be a user story about this in Element-Meta.
