Allow configuring default file view
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
In our lab, we use this product as a file share solution, making heavy use of the "Spaces" tab. In this setup, we find the "List View" to be the most useful option for viewing files of the available options: "List", "Compact List", "Tiles". I wish there was some way to configure this as the default view, which currently defaults to "Tiles" with no option to change it unless set manually by the user.
Describe the solution you'd like
As an admin, I would like to be able to configure the default file view option from the available options: "List", "Compact List", or "Tiles". This could be achieved via configuration file or environment variable. For instance, in docker compose: OCIS_DEFAULT_FILE_VIEW: "List".
Describe alternatives you've considered
N/A
Additional context
This should apply generally, but I am using a three container podman setup with OCIS server, OCIS Collaboration Server, and OnlyOffice Document Server.

We do save this setting(s) in the local storage
So, it's a setting; we do persist. I am figuring out the actual use case for having it pre-configured when the user has the free choice.
But technically spoken, quite possible 🤔
Maybe we could handle this via some kind of user-onboarding. Basically related to https://github.com/owncloud/web/issues/6695. A one-time setup dialog for each user would allow them to select whatever they prefer.
