You can do this in the Nautilus (Also called "Files") preferences window. Here's how:

  1. Make sure you have "Files" (program) running (or else the menus will NOT bring you the correct sub menus when you click on them)

  2. Click Edit > Preferences

  3. On the Views tab, select the List View viewing option next to "View new folders using:" and click close.

You're done!

Nautilus preferences window

3

gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.preferences default-folder-viewer 'list-view'

Options are 'list-view', 'icon-view' and 'compact-view'.

The tree view can be enabled from the files > preferences. There is a check box for this.

Version : 3.8.2

This is the "List View" in Nautilus up to v3.4 (shipped with Ubuntu 12.10). It's no longer available in Nautilus v3.6

You can activate it in the "View" menu:

Ubuntu 20.04, 18.04, and 17.10

  1. Enable list view if it's not already enabled: Click the "Toggle view" button at top right. (It will change to a four-squares or nine-squares button, for going back to icon view. If icon view is enabled, the button will look like a bulleted list.)
  2. Enable tree view: Go to Files menu -> Preferences -> Views tab -> under List View, enable Allow folders to be expanded

Or via CLI

  1. Enable list view

    gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.preferences default-folder-viewer 'list-view'
  2. Enable tree view

    gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.list-view use-tree-view true

In nautilus-3.6 (raring), it's gone though I've added back along with several other changes in a ppa

In 3.8 or higher it's been returned, enabled thru - click on files > preferences > Display > & enable there.

Ubuntu 18.04 gnome-shell 3.28

Use this command:

gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.list-view use-tree-view true

You can activate the tree view, called as "list view" by clicking via View -> List.

The same can be done by pressing Ctrl + 2 To revert back press Ctrl+ 1
